Cup holder

Snyders sells them, and you would not believe what plastic costs these days!!!!!!!!!!!
 
If you look past the fan, you will notice that I use a simple old style cup holder hooked over the dash. We used to use this style of cup holders between the windows and the doors.

I got this simple cupholder from Harbor Freight. I made an extension to let it stick out beyond the seat. 2 strong magnets hold it to the seat frame. Its is clean and discrete. Not big and clunky like many others. It works great.

I added some mahogany to match the dash to the metal cup holders you can buy through several of the suppliers. The wood might make it a little more friendly to bumping into as the metal is quite sharp on the edges.

This one is slick! Hardly noticeable it looks like. I don’t really want a big bulky piece of plastic hanging off the dash..
 
I have a molded plastic dual cup holder that sits on the floor against the front of the seat and is not fastened. It was approx. $15. and works great. It also has slots for things like napkins and whatever. What I like is it doesn't have to be mounted and is out of the way.
Google floor mounted cup holders.

I wouldn't have anything unrestrained on the front seat floor area, it can get tangled in your feet at the most inopportune time. it's a safety hazard.
Don't ask how I know.
 
Bike shops are a great source for cup holders

If you’re into a little woodworking, I made these for my cars, a truck and a phaeton…also, I made a little epilept for both sides of the dash on the truck. Looks pretty good and dresses it up a bit….

Be careful with the double wire style . If not properly attached to the dash rail, it can scratch the gas tank face.

I used stainless steel folding marine cup holders. Works well for passengers having room to get in and out.
