    Wire Cupholder, where to buy?

    I have seen pictures of a one cup wire cupholder below the ashtray, but I cannot find where to buy one. Anyone know where I can acquire one?

          I already checked, only flimsy folding deals, and one that goes in the map pocket. my map pocket is going to be used for a speaker.

              Are these OEM?
              When I bought my iX one was already installed.
              I'm guessing it's an aftermarket piece?

                No they are aftermarket...

                Try BMP ?

                Is this something Mason and Zen should do?

                (I wonder if the patent has expired)

                  Can they not be as ugly as the ones being made now?

                    You guys should try making those ones where it has a double cupholder where the front ashtray is. There was a thread a day or two ago on it. I'm sure you guys saw it.

                      I've got one that I would sell to you. It's from my new car, and I don't need it. PM me if you're interested. It attaches w/ the screws used to keep the ash tray in place.

                        I had one of those, but with the way their mounted, they start tilting from pressure way too easily, its all a cantilever setup. If the cup is more than half full, with Ireland springs was rough enough that it just messed up my window switch from the pop getting in it.

                          Really? Mine seems really stable.

                            We really don't do that kind of fabrication (molded plastics)... Pretty much metal fabrication and machining.

                              Free!!!

                              You can have mine for postage. I've just gotta find it out in my tool chest. PM me and we'll set it up.

                              DerAffe got to me first, so the Cupholder will be heading West for postage.
