Home made cup holder.

[JasonC]

I seen one for sale and thought i could make one myself. And so i did. I had all of the stuff to make it but the plastic coating dip. So all i have in it is $10. And that was for the plastic dip that i could use on other things anyway. I used a piece of sheet metal, metal gas line, and the plastic dip. The drink stay's in place even on a twisty back road and is out of the way of the shifter. And if i don't like it. All i have to do is unscrew it and you'd never knew it was there. If you want to see what the original one looked like, it's in the for sale thread. I didn't want to crap on his thread so i just made my own about the one i made.

The shifter is in 5th

Dude, I have an actual one that came with my car when I bought it...its an interesting piece...who makes it?

[JasonC]

I'm not to for sure who makes it? The guy who has the one for sale doen't state who made it either. It's a very simple design. That's why i said, screw it i'll make my own.

BMP and bavauto both sell the one the OP in fs posted. Bavauto wants like $25 for it IIRC. Nice work Jason!

I'm going to make one more. And it will be for my dad's e28. I just got to figure out where to mount it. Cause it's easy enuff to bend one to the shape you want.

Here ya go. :p




It's not as solid as the one in the e30 cause of the place i attached it to in the e28 has some flex to it. But it's only a pop can and is better then the plasic holders out there. And it looks like both cars need a good cleaning!

I have one that replaces my ashtray. Fits like a glove and texture perfectly matches the interior. Looks a little cumbersome at first but I got used to it. And having a cup holder sure is nice.
