Ok I am in a quandary. I went ahead and manufactured a couple of these new Delrin Cubby Insert Panels that have everything I think is needed. It can be flat mounted, top mount or 45° mount. It can be 1/4-20 or M10 threaded with black steel keenserts which aren’t cheap. And that’s part of the problem. This thing costs so much to produce that I’d have to sell it as a kit at nearly $100 but at that price I think demand drops to near zero. What do you all think?

I'm willing to preorder one now if that helps. Oh and I bought the OBA tray off the classifieds. Did you say you would send me the hardware :)?

Absolutely. PM me your shipping address. I’ll send out tomorrow.

Cool!
 
Could you make a drink holder there?

The flimsy cupholder holds my manly beer easily.
 
Will it hold an IPad firmly. If it’ll hold it without a lot of play I’d be interested.

I ordered two ram mounts for iPads. Gonna test it with two of them.

I really like the idea. I recently got a different phone and instead of doing the magnetic mount dealio by the shifter I ended up doing a suction cup mount on the windshield. I would much rather have this type of setup. Plus some dumb jerk (me) broke the freaking tray that goes in there.
 
I like it. I went through the cup holder thing and resold it, now its the gamivitti switch holder that houses my mic holder and my security sensor in the slots.

I'd prefer to mount my Tablet there so I'm in. Be nice to get it off the side of the console! Will pre-buy if I can see a tablet set up please.

So I don't have to play where does the mic holder go Tetris game (both ham and cibie mics in my rig)- any way to machine a mic holder into this? or a spot beside the ram mount to accept a stock switch?
 
I tell people to put their wallet there. I have nothing there so i get free money when the wallets get lost

Yup. I only carry a cash cover w/5-7 misc ID/CCP/plastic.

Fits perfect & not too deep.

I am amazed the genius of the swampnutz vent & the total bass-ackward of the slot pocket tho, unless there's some ROW thing people carry that fits that slot.
 
For that matter, are you thinking on coming up with a ram mount option for a tablet that mounts where the map light sun roof switches go. I'd be really really keen on that. Really
 
Really
