I've been using the crappy screw-on cupholders that hold a can and NOTHING else, and have always kept my eyes out for a cheap/easy solution. Fortunately, I've found one that's good enough to share. Bed Bath & Beyond sells a little $13 (text for a coupon and it's only $10) dual cupholder that is designed to screw onto a wide variety of surfaces. I bought one, and after playing with it for a while, i removed the "canholders," and screwed it right on over the e-brake handle. It fits PERFEFTLY, and holds all kinds of drinks really well. If you use your e-brake as seldom as i do, the placement won't effect your life much...and if you use the e-brake alot, it screws off nice and easy. So for $10-13, the problem is solved and you can take it out and put it on the lawn mower or a beach chair. The brand name is "brica" if they can't be found as easily at the store.

 

Just got done adding some to mine. 3" drop in cupholders from RV store. $1.27 a piece.

 

Someone did one kind of like this a while back. They got rhe $12 cup holder from Wally-World. They took a piece of plate that fit over the e-brake, mounted the holder to it and attached that to the console with hinges. Thay way, you can still get to the e-brake and the cubby underneath.

 

I've went through so many, trying to get stuff to work. I have a 5-speed my e-brake is critical.

 

you beat me to it...

what about for the bolt action kids..

 

We sadly have to suffer

 

Let the suffering end! Came to like 2 bucks after tax, looks almost factory.

 

What I really want to see is a nice factory-looking solution to cup holders for the rear in 4-door models.

 

I got the OEM one and a Walmart one that fits in between the center console and the passenger seat.

 

socal, thats a 5 speed? what part of socal are you in? i need to see that in person.

 

Yes it's a 5 speed. I'm no longer in SoCal. I was in San Diego, now in Vegas, next month Alaska.

 

Ya that won't work for me as my center console is full and would pop those out. I saw a jeep when I was looking to buy mine the guy had a up holder mounted to the glove box door and it was like on a gyroscope type mount so no matter the angles your AR the cup would be upright

 

These stick through the bottom of the lid about a half inch. I also keep my console full. I RTV'd and siloconed the bottoms to keep them in place and keep liquid from getting into console.

 

Looks really good, definitely copying you! Did you just cut them with a 3" hole saw?

 

I had this in my 91. Worked just fine.
