Re: empy din slot idea

I think I have decided to make a custom cup holder...or, at least, try to. The idea is to get a simple pocket for the upper din slot after putting the new, single din, radio in the bottom slot. Then, to get the clearance Huck mentioned above, I will make a custom holder out of an aluminum sheet and four pieces of foam rubber. The cup holes will be cut out of the aluminum sheet and the sheet can be made long enough to extend out so that the cups don't interfere with the dash. This would just push into the pocket.

Right now, there are no arms in the plans for under the cup. I suppose I could attach some brackets under the smaller hole for water bottles.
