Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

We needa' picture of that.

And I will have to ask my wife about my rotating member. I don't pay that much attention!!!

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

I agree with putter.

Ol yellow 72 we need some pics if you don't mind.

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

aitch- I didn't mean that to sound like I was putting anybody down. Sorry if it came off that way. I was really just pointing out that Putter knew what I was saying and I knew what he was saying. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding things on here too so I know where your coming from. The rotating part is about 1" if I remember correctly.

70c10, not a problem, thanks.
What looks like a potential issue tho is the difference between the center line of the ash tray face and the center line of the cup holder in the vertical axis. There may be a way to overcome this offset, I just think it's a challenge.
Like I said, I have a Windstar unit coming and I'll see what I can do with it.
I've been looking for a cup holder and this option is a great addition to our tribal knowledge. I count on this forum for information and the exchange of ideas.

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

Mods like this just really fascinate the hell outa me. :D

Very cool stuff guys, what ever became of this?

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

I gotta start reading the dates on the posts.I assumed that this was a new project. I too would like to know what ever became of it.

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

Putter,

If you find an extra one at the JY, could pick it up for me? I have an idea, but need to play with it first. Let me know how much I need to send you.

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

Will do. I didn't see any last trip out, but I have to go again to pick up a few odd items for another member, plus an A/C compressor for my dad's caravan ($399 @ parts house...$70 at JY...with warranty)

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

wow, that photoshop picture actually looks pretty good. If its done that way, you wouldnt have to worry about filling the ashtray bumper holes.

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

Old air products makes a ashtray cup holder that uses your old ashtray. check it out. http://www.oldairproducts.com/shop/p...9baf65dcb2c0ee
I've also seen it on a couple of other websites.

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

Nows thats a real cool idea! Nobody smokes anymore anyway. Im sold!!!

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

Anyone producing these and selling them. If so Iwould be glad to have two of them.

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

Wow Larry, I forgot I started this thread almost 3 years ago:lol: You should be able to find these in the rear side wall of any 95' or so Windstar van at your local junkyard:chevy: I never did continue with my original idea so I still have my stock ashtray:waah:

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

WOW, It has been awhile, sad part is that Putter has
been here since then and never took my ashtray with
him when he left to modify it. Need to slap him upside
the old head w/ a very large brass cowbell I guess :lol:

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

I got this one for around $50 awhile back. It is made for our trucks.

Re: Revolving cup holder pics
 

I like both ideas, I wondering if someone could photoshop the first pic while filling in the two small holes and painting it to match the dash? I think that would look pretty good...
