All you need is any kind of bag with a flap.The bag can be
Vinyl,plastic,Leather,etc.Or you could make one.I used a Pentax camera
case I got from a garage sale for 50 cents.
Left pic:The camera case :arrow: Right pic:Fold the flap so that
distance "A" is the same as distance "B".
_______________________________________________________________
Left :If the flap is a little too wide.Bow it up in the middle.
:arrow: Right:Now put the ashtray back.
______________________________________________________________
That's a 20 ounce cup in the holder.I very lightly touch the cupholder
with my knuckles ,when shifting1,3 &5th,but my shifters been
shorthened.With the OEM length shifter you may not have this prob.Try
it.With a "Big Gulp" there's most likely a chance you'll smash the
cup while shifting.Update:I tried a Taco Bell medium(32 oz. I think) cup & it works,but that's w/my shortened shifter.Check for clearence on the OEM size shifter.On AT Wagons:Works,but when you shift into PARK.You'll need palm it in with your thumb on the button(if there's a cup in there).
You can rest the cupholder on the center console(left pic) or side
ways(right pic).On the center console is better.Less stress on the
flap.
:idea: Try thrift stores or mass discounters(e.g. Ross,Big Lots).I saw a lense case with velcro dividers that could be used as a double cupholder.Feel free to post other cupholder ideas here.
Update:For shorter cups some kind of spacer can be put into the bottom of the holder to raise up your cup.
The camera case I used is from a old skool point n shoot camera(Pentax Zoom 90-WR).When I find a 2nd one I'm going to make a D
UBLE cupholder.

You can add a piece of foam,plastic or wood to the bottom to raise up the cup.Or get a shallower case.Ihaven't popped a top yet.
