I havent forgotten I have the bracket with me now and will be installing and taking photos tomorrow. He made the bracket to install in the origianl ash tray bracket without destroying it. So if you decide to go back to your ash tray you can. I am excited to get it installed so I can use it. I have a video he gave me of the cup holder sliding in and out of the bracket on my iPhone but I havent figured out o how to switch the Apple video to one I can upload here or I would have posted it today as well. I will be posting up pics tomorrow

Everytime I get into truck with hot coffee, keep thinking, where would you put a cup holder.

[LNP]

Ok so we had a couple changes to the bracket so its not 100% but heres photos of everything. Ok he designed this so you can go back to your stock ash tray if you want. The only mod to the ash tray bracket is you have to straighten out the small flange at the back of the ash tray. The bracket will attach to the original ash tray bracket by one #8 screw so there will be one small hole you will have to drill. You will see where in the photos. The nut drops into a hex hole made for it in the cup holder bracket. I had to do some moving around of my stereo wires otherwise it went right in. The face plate will have to be removed from the ash tray by drilling out the two rivets. I did this by drilling away the rivet from inside the ash tray. The face plate will attach to an adpater that goes on to the cup holder. The adapter for the cup holder is what he is redesigning. If you have any questions as I am sure I left something out let me know. The photos show everything but the face plate adapter as hes working on it now and hopes to have it to me by Weds. Sorry I didnt get this up over the weekend as I said I would do. We were figuring out the changes that need made and I forgot to post.

Here is some more photos

Once the face plate adapter is done it will look like the ash tray is still there when closed.

Yup he has spent a lot of time making this as simple as possible. Everyone ignore my stereo amp and wires hangin out of the dash I didnt have
it all put back before I did the photos

Sorry guys I’m not getting notifications to my email on threads but yea it’s fairly simple to do as Harley has done it close to the same way I did. I used an old ashtray to cut up and mounted the Toyota cup holder to it. I still need to rivet the stop on top

Did you make that part with the hex where screw goes in. I Bought that same cup holder didn't have that (tray) part?

My son is 3d printing it. Once we have the bugs out if someone wants one he will offer them on his Etsy page. I should have the final print today so I can get it installed. The bracket will consist of 3 pieces total. Two will be small pieces so the face plate can be easily attached and the last piece is the bracket that attaches to the ash tray original bracket. It is made for the cup holder all of us have purchased. I will post up more pics of the pieces and how they go. I might even do a short video explaining the pieces.

Looks like I missed a few posts.
I like the modded Toyota slider. I can fab(or print) one up myself, but thank you

Ok I only said something because you mention it. No worries

[LNP]

Ok we got the toyota cup holder bracket done. This is it with the cup holder installed.

[LNP]

Here with face plate attached.

And then fully assembled ready to put in the dash.

[chewychevy67]

So I'm curious if it will hit the ac duct hoses behind the dash because it sticks out so far from the back? I have a 67 ash tray so it may be a bit different.

I like that! That is simply outstanding! Does it work with oversized cups?

[thedudeabides86]

Hey guys,

I picked up one of these from LS Fabrication in Canada. It bolts right the the base of where the hold down screws are on our AC/Defrost units mount. It may vibrate a tad, but it's never let me or my drinks down.
