Where's a good place to mount this?

http://www.rvandvansurplus.com/eshop/products/Swing.jpg

I want to get these cup holders, but dont want to order them with no place to mount them. Any good ideas of where I could mount it? Says the depth is 4 3/4".

Re: Where's a good place to mount this?

Nahh, I have AC and can't part with that. I was thinkin maybe cutting into the trim on the dash pad and right through the metal behind it, but it might look too tacky with plastic cupholders like that. Billet ones would be nice, but I can't spend around $100 for a place to put my drink. Thanks.. Any other ideas?

How about moving your radio to a console like Swervin Ervin did and place it in there? You could use a smaller version of his console and mount a radio and storage unit w/o the full console.

If you don't use your ash tray, I got this neato cupholder thing from Year One. It slides in place of the ash tray and stays very soundly.

SlapFish, that looks pretty handy. Can it fold in or anything? I'll look into one of those. Thanks

Nah it's pretty much out there forever, since the rectangular prism that slides into the ash tray hole has carpet with a friction coefficient of astronomical value. It doesn't look bad at all though.
