Author Topic: Cup holder source for those interested (Read 4582 times)

BillyJack · « **on:** June 05, 2003, 09:51:37 am »

I think it's in the software board where someone is discussing the drop down cup holders. I started searching for a better price than 5.00 a piece, and stumbled onto a website that sold them for 3.50 a piece (not including shipping of course.) But I also found swing-out cup holders, very cool!

Unfortunately they're 15 a piece.

I just thought I'd share this stuff with anyone who is interested.

Thanks,

BillyJack

EDIT: Thanks Hoagie! I forgot that part (duh)

I picked mine up from that online marine store as well...

SirPoonga's got some pics on his site too (he's the first cab I had seen with these cupholders)

*shrug*

Rampy

eDIT those flip out ones look the same dimensions (eyeballed) as a the 5.25" drive space on a PC... hmmm... I'm thinking cupholder mod =P

SWEET!!!! I love those hide away cup holders! I bought the flip down type from a marine shop - but haven't installed them yet. I may buy these instead. Anyone want to buy some flip downs from me!!!!!

im glad you messed up, because i need some clamps, lol

TheTick · « **Reply #9 on:** June 05, 2003, 01:05:07 pm »

I installed the Happs cup holders on the side my showcase podium. Very secure, even holds glass beer mugs. Having them always sticking out of the side looks a bit dumb.

Those swingout ones would be a nice alternative if they were sturdy enough for mugs.

Valence · « **Reply #12 on:** July 18, 2003, 04:03:42 pm »

Old topic sorry for bringing it up again but does anyone that has the flip down type cup holder have dimensions?

Length, Highth, Width and the Width when it is folded out(Just the back part that doesn't move)

Valence

KevSteele · « **Reply #13 on:** July 18, 2003, 06:11:45 pm »

I went with the Ahlstrand Marine cup holders as well:

They've worked out very nicely, but I really do like those swing-out holders!

Kevin

rampy · « **Reply #14 on:** July 18, 2003, 07:23:49 pm »

The flip up boat ones are approximately 4"x4"x1" (folded up and rounded up)

*Shrug* hope that helps.

Rampy

Valence · « **Reply #15 on:** July 18, 2003, 08:36:53 pm »

As I don't want to seem to "Anal" but the space on my CP is very limited. A 1/4" could mean the difference between them working and not. Kevsteele, when you get a chance, can you grab a ruler and check. I really like the swing ones also, but inside my CP I don't have any room left at all.

Pictures will be forth comming, I promise ( for all the thread jackers out there)

Valence

rampy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 18, 2003, 09:07:49 pm »

well I rounded up so....

Rampy

KevSteele · « **Reply #17 on:** July 18, 2003, 09:47:42 pm »

I'll double-check the measurements and get back to you.

Kevin

SirPoonga · « **Reply #18 on:** July 18, 2003, 09:55:30 pm »

My cup holders get used all the time.

ok....

I made some measurements for my cup holder....
when closed...
h = 4 in
w = 4.25 in
d = tiny bit less than 1 in

when open... only expand out....

hope it helps...

Valence · « **Reply #20 on:** July 18, 2003, 10:39:36 pm »

Didn't mean to seem ungratefull to Rampy, just needed a little more percision. Thanks to all.

Valence

KevSteele · « **Reply #21 on:** July 18, 2003, 10:46:22 pm »

My measurements:

Width: 4 inches
Height 4 inches
Depth: 1 inch at the thickest point
When open, it extends 4.25 inches outward.

My measurements don't quite jibe with hiyu's, so I don't know if it's the way we're measuring or what. Still I hope this helps.

Kevin

hyiu · « **Reply #22 on:** July 18, 2003, 11:15:46 pm »

well... if we're getting different brand... it might vary a little... who knows ??....

Valence · « **Reply #23 on:** July 18, 2003, 11:28:38 pm »

Well I found that I only have 3 3/4 inch room highth to use. So now I know to only buy 1 and see if I can "adjust" it to make it fit.

REBIRTH · « **Reply #27 on:** July 19, 2003, 07:14:22 am »

In case you need some a *tiny* bit smaller... I got these:

http://www.foreandaftmarine.com/50-79451.htm

They look to be exactly the same as the Ashland's except a bit smaller - they are 3 3/4" wide by 3 7/8" high by 7/8" deep (when closed, 4" when open). You said you needed 3 3/4" high - these are definitely 3 7/8" high

Sorry I don't have the cool measuring thing Oscar has. I feel so unmanly now

rampy · « **Reply #28 on:** July 19, 2003, 09:15:27 am »

You know, when I posted my measurements... I was going to make some wisecrack about, "not being performed with a digital micronometer or anything.... but...." but I restrained myself... (it's forbidden in the code to take 2 digs at OSCAR in one thread =P)

Rampy

KevSteele · « **Reply #29 on:** July 19, 2003, 10:01:09 am »

Kelsey,

LOL! Well, that answers that question conclusively!

I'm glad to see you embrace your inner geek now and then...

Actually, A "Real" Manly Man wouldn't use a digital one. j/k

Valence · « **Reply #31 on:** July 19, 2003, 06:18:53 pm »

Ok now for a more serious question..........

On the Ahlstrand Marine brand, is the cup ring flush with the top like the one below? I can't tell from any of the pics.

hyiu · « **Reply #32 on:** July 20, 2003, 02:07:52 am »

ok... I just checked....

my cup holder... that 2 upper "c" like clamps... ARE ADJUSTABLE !!!!

that means you make make it wider or narrower !!

SirPoonga · « **Reply #33 on:** July 20, 2003, 02:48:08 am »

Don;t use them that often do you? Beer steins fit nicely.

It's fairly close -- I'd guess about 1/16" - 1/8" from the very top (sorry, I don't have a micrometer, digital or otherwise

)

Heres that cup holder (might be same, or different?). It gives you the demensions also.
