How about this it could attach with one or both with the thickness of the metal that you're using
And have the holder about right here

That is definitely an option from that area. If it is a one cup holder it would work with the single bolt I think. If you sketch me a design that would be great. Are all fj40 column bolts the same? I have a 1978 with the pad right there, so I should be able to draw one up if I get time.
Let me know when the 70-83 model is available. I currently have a cup holder taped onto the middle of my center console and I can't wait to get rid of it.
I am horrible with sketching .but I think with the thick metal that your using one bolt will be good. Expecially if you leave a little metal to the right of the bolt hole. A one cup holder will be great. thanks for taking this on
I have the setup in the first picture and I like it. Easy to install.

I am painting and shipping some of the first 79-83 cup holders this week. I will have more pictures and prices posted soon. Thanks for everyone's help with ideas. Here is a couple bare metal pics, sans a 12 volt option. It should mount under the front of the center console using the factory bolts. And it shouldn't matter if you have a heater or not (I tried making it fit both. Price will be around $30 + shipping if you wanted it painted. Thanks MUD.
Great product... any chance of a different plastic cup bucket? Bottom part is too small for my Contigo insulated cup and it rattles around in the upper part. I made a neoprene sleeve that seems to do the trick but it tends to stay with the cup.

@Ranchrider I can try and look around. Do you know the outside diameter of the cup you have?

Out of town at the moment. Will measure next week.
Thankful that Kyle worked this up and made them available... My version ('82-40) required only minimal adjustments (bout the only I'm equipped for!) to install... no more cups tipping over from the Walmart setup 
I looked the two travel mugs I frequently use and both are just a bit under 3" diameter at the bottom with very little taper if any.
Just installed in my 1980. Let me give you some feedback.
Your cup holder installs easily, fits perfectly, looks great, and solves my problem! I think you got this one nailed.

What are people doing for cup holders if you have a bench seat???
I made some wire ones that fit under the windshield wing nut. You would have to make your own.
They look pretty good. How did you get it so "round" (and smooth)?
I bent the 90 corner first, then the 180 loop squishing in a vice then bent the loop around a large socket that was a bit smaller than the final size. Then I cut off the rest of the rod with a 1mm cut off disk in a grinder.
It was all done by eye-ometer, no measurements were taken!

Nice one. I'll give it a go over the Xmas/New Year break
