I routed my ac hose over it. I have a 69 trk and ash tray

I also wanna add the bracket is only a 1/2" longer than the Toyota cup holder is.

I was astonished to find they're still making these things.
They ARE period correct, though ;-)

So the piece that you inserted the cup holder into is 3d printed? Cool

Yes it is. My son made it and said if anyone is interested in one he can make them.

The 3D printed slider is awesome. Have been working on my cup holder as well. I do not have one of those 3D printer gizmos or the knowledge to use it. I am doing it with basic materials available. Ash tray is modded and cup holder slides in and out. The tray length is a bit of an issue with the tray slider. Have a solution, just no time yet to implement the change. Hope to provide pics of another option soon.

LNP · 07-13-2024, 10:31 AM

Hate me if you want but I'm not gunna ask him to give it away free as I asked him to make this for me with the possiblity he could sell one or two. The one I am installing today the one I post the final pics of is the 5th version. Started with a smaller one and ended up with the size it is as thats what worked best with this particular cup holder. Each bracket he made took 16hrs to print. He sat at home at his desk with calipers and measured figure and created a 3d model from scratch then proceeded to print them out. the two pieces that attach to the cup holder itself so the face plate adapts was his own idea and design. He doesnt care if any sell he did this to help me. He took in to account that others had said they did not want to ruin thier original ash tray and designed this one to fit without ruinin it. Thats a lot of trail error and personal time. Please dont take me wrong I am just explaining after what he went thru to make this why I dont wanna now ask him to hand the program out. Then someone else will make them to sell.

I apoloize Richard;9327256 I clocked on the wrong post when I did my reply. Rust_Never_Sleeps had asked if he would share the cad file not you. Again I apologize. I tried to delete the post but cant see how. I did remove your quote from the post

No worries. I deleted my message as it quoted you and does not add anything useful. You have to click the delete in the lower section to eliminate the post. I will delete this if you would like. I would buy one of the 3d printed cases if price is reasonable. It is shorter than the solution I have, which I will still finish. Think you will need a premium membership to list it though.

I dont see where to delete the post I even clicked edit and looked. Maybe cause I am not a paying member yet I dont have the option.

1969stepside · 08-15-2024, 01:23 PM

The Toyota cup holder itself won't work without the bracket he makes or what someone else could do themsleves. If you dont have the cup holder when you order the bracket just order the cup holder included. The 4 screws needed for the stops (2) and to attach the ash tray front piece (2) come with it yes. Unless hes added it the #8- 32 x 3/4" screw and nut to attach the cup holder bracket to the ash tray bracket does not come with it.

1969stepside · 08-15-2024, 02:12 PM

i have the cup holder and i ordered his bracket
