Cup holder option for those of you running Single DIN Head Units

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Picked one of these up to fill the empty single DIN slot in my hotrod (open headers too loud for an actual stereo lol)

Found in mid 90's Ford Taurus'

A nice option for those of you running a single DIN head unit in the stock double DIN slot

very cool I would get one if my CB wasn't already there...

More options from VW

Gosh, and all this time I've been holding my drink between my legs like an idiot.

Although it does keep the boys nice and cool.

Finally, a worthwhile thread!!!!

I wonder if a single DIN cup holder is sort of "universal"!

That looks sleek. Wonder if the quality is any good

This is something that I want to do with the stock cd changer in the rear of the console in my LX. I'll be getting a double DIN deck up front (already installed single OEM cup holder in the useless dash pocket spot) and won't need the antiquated changer in the console. I'm not sure if the cd changer occupies a single DIN slot though.

Didn't 90's Toy pickups come with a single DIN in dash cup holder? That might make for a more OEM look as an option.

For the money they're asking, I'd venture to guess poor quality. But, it's worth taking the risk!

Yes, DIN is a standard measurement, 2.125" x 7.125", I believe. The width is a constant at 7.125", the height is not. A double DIN opening is 2 x 2.125" or 4.250" high x 7.125" wide. I.E. our stock 80 Series Cruiser stereo.

Anything that you desire, aftermarket or other manufacturer's DIN sized cubby holes, cup holders etc., whether it's a double DIN or a pair of single DIN objects, will snugly fill the gap left by your stock stereo.

Excellent thread. I love treasure hunting at the Pick N' Pull.

 

[badmuthatrucka]

I want one! The wants a place to put her drink when we're in the 80.

 

[yardbird88]

I just ordered the JB lab's cup holder from Korea, hope it's good.

 

[CreeperSleeper]

I can't wait to hear how it works out for you! I'm pulling out my sterio when I do my body swap.

Nope it was in the dash not the DIN.

so i went and bought one of these last week. finally arrived today. fitment was easy, they got the screw holes in the right place. only problem is that i have a manual and the gear lever bumps the cup holder when selecting 1st gear. quality is on par with something made by landrover, so its gonna rattle like hell. only thing left to check is how well cans, bottles and cups fit in it.

Whats the white cord in the image below?

Come on guys...this is definitely the way to go

just stick it on the right side of the pulled out ashtray and it rests perfectly.

White cord is my iPod plug for the stereo. Not the best place for it but I don't have many options since my 80 has no centre console.
