For those with cup holders in the trans tunnel top, how did you install them to keep them in the hole? And what position/location did they end up?
The 4 ideas I've come up with are glue/HSRF/JBWeld, build a bracket underneath, friction push in, or plane old gravity. All have advantages, and unfortunately disadvantages. I'm also making the trans tunnel top aluminum removable, so the fact that it has to move forward and aft for install/removing, and the cross bracing of the 3/4" tubes is another design issue I'm trying to solve. It looks like the cup holders will be straddling the forward cross brace, and be right up next to it, which means it will restrict the forward/aft movement with the cup holders installed, necessitating the aluminum may have to go on first, then the cup holders drop in. I think. Maybe.
This (picture) is what I'm thinking at the moment.
The more ideas the better. Thanks all. Pictures if you got 'em
