Cup holder / storage ideas in walk through area

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by 75swampy, Sep 20, 2015.

  1. I've seen a few posts on here with people making storage boxes & cup holders in the walk through part of the cab

    I've just found some left over ply from our interior conversion so I'm going to make it my next wee project.

    I'd like to do it a little different if possible. My thoughts were to add two cup holders, and wire up the 12v system so that I can add led lights, 12v phone charger & USB port for my phone & Bluetooth speakers .

    Any other ideas?

    If anyone has any pics of the reed that would be cool. Dimensions would be helpful but I will be measuring it up anyways to make sure I've got enough board left to do it.

    Cheers Neil

    There was a chap off prototype bay who made walkthrough boxes. He came on here trying to sell them and unfortunately got ripped into for the price and left. He made a good item which in fairness was relatively easy to copy.

    I can't find the thread!

    He didn't get ripped for the price, he got ripped for having a pop at potential customers.
    I was going to buy one but it went against my "don't deal with idiots" rule.

    If you find the thread you will find he got a load of stick about the price. I have spoken to him since and he's a nice guy.

    You won't find the thread as it got deleted.
    I gave him grief for being an idiot, nothing to do with price!

  9. Cool I'll get the pencil & paper out and draw up a plan.
    I plan to make it from whatever materials I have in the shed so it should cost me hee haw.
    Although I may purchase the cup holders if it saves me a lot of hassle.

    Seen a few on here but never saved the threads & couldn't find them through a search.

    The thread got deleted as the seller refused to become a sponsor at the massive cost of £20 a year

    I've just popped mine in....

    Marine cup holders, top drawer and rear access main compartment (for my spares) and a little map pocket. Slanted base so the top sits level with the seat base.

    I considered loading it with electronics but it sits in board of the seat bases by about 1.5 inches on each side to clear the seat belt stalks so it would have meant bridging the gap with cables or coming in from underneath (cables under carpet or through he metalwork).
