Cupholder solution? 200

Hi All,

Well, I got tired of trying to drink a coffee while shifting and dealing with the non power steering in my blessed '80 244 DL radio delete optionless wondercar, so I retired to the shop and whipped up a cupholder made out of 1/8" mild steel rod. It's been in service since early spring and has passed all of the tests...it hasn't spilled a drink, and the Mrs. hasn't complained about knee room...actually she really likes it. I couldn't leave well enough alone and dragged it back into the shop to add secondary holders on each side for a cell phone and leatherman tool.

It's a straightforward build, probably could be soldered together if you didn't have a welder (or a buddy with one). I've never been inside a 240 later than '80 or 81, so I don't know if the interior is different...shouldn't be too hard to change the basic design. There are more pictures on my website if'n yer interested...
