Revolving cup holder pics

[badpeanut]

Nice work!

If I'm not on the same page, at least I'm in the same chapter. It just takes me a while to conceptualize another mans ideas without the ability to lay my hands on the components. I've got a Windstar cup holder on the way now, so I get to play too.
What is the height of the rotating member?

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.

i also did a radio delete flip down, used some 2 top expoxie and put a 2 inch door hinge on the back, stuck the other part into the cage that hold the radio and bam hiden radio

[Putter]

We needa' picture of that.

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

[jay_shy]

I agree with putter.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

[larry may]

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

[70c10]

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

[LUV2XCLR8]

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

[lts70]

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

[rambler]

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...
