Cup holders

I’m trying to retrofit my roadster with a set of cup holders, and need help locating a specific set I found in a picture from a post by a member in this forum. I can find basic black anodized or stainless drop-in cup holders with no issues, but I really like the look of these which have silver screws along the top rim. Any help getting info on them would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Can’t give you any leads on the cup holders your searching for but can tell you what I did. Went to cup holders plus.com and purchased drinkster narrow bench seat shorty console. Two cup holders and a storage area with cover that opens toward the passenger. If your shifter is in the regular position you will have about 1/2 inch of clearance between the shifter boot ring and the console. I did have to pull the leather off the rear of the console and cut the console wood to match the profile of the rear bulkhead of the car. Recovered with the original leather, put a piece of leftover carpet in the console for the floor, fasten to the car and done. Good luck
Here’s a video of my car with the console. https://youtu.be/qwyqcD2QmIY

This is a link to the cup holders. https://www.eddiemotorsports.com/product-p/ms281-43.htm I saved the link form who's ever car that was. Don't remember. But I do remember him saying that he machined in the screw holes. So they do not come like that.

JRL16, thank you for the reply. I’ll defiantly use your suggestions when installing my cup holders, not sure I want the storage area though. I’m actually planning on putting an original style cigarette ashtray in place which will conceal my Rostra Cruise control module, similar to the way “Factory Five Roadster 6882” did his install on YouTube. Thank you.

Oh man, thank you for the link. I knew I wasn’t loosing my mind, those cup holders are impossible to find; and now I know why. I’ll have to see if I can mimic them, I have a local machine shop that may be able to do the job. Thanks again for the link.
