Perfect collapsible cup holder
I have been thinking about doing this for a couple years, as I knew it would be much better holder than the original. Finally did it. No drilling. No new holes. Out of the way of the gear shift lever. Out of the way of the passenger when not in use. And, not a big deal when in use with a passenger.
It is part number 222-090 for $12 to $13. Here's a couple sites that list it:
www.lbcarco.com
www.mossmotors.com
Simply remove the upper left plastic net attachment. Reuse the same screw. This one screw holds the cup holder just fine. If in doubt, add a second screw. Insert a small thick washer in place of the plastic net holder; place it in back of the upper right screw hole in the cup holder. This gives the net loop something to ride on. I've include a photo of the washer I used in the 3rd photo.

I forgot to mention the side prongs are expandable sideways. I like to carry bottle water when driving with the top down but for those into Super Size it should work..... I'd add the second screw if you do that.

I think this guy just puts stickers on them and sells them for $13, but they have a nice polished finish it looks like.

I had that cup holder on my Miata for some time...it tends to flex quite a bit under the weight of a sport bottle (24oz?) size water.
I used a very slick stainless with leather strap bicycle water bottle cage in the same spot on the passenger side of the trans tunnel.
Works like a charm - without water or coffee in there it holds my sunglass case nicely too.

Thanx dlq ... just ordered one.
Little British Car Co (www.lbcarco.com) has them on sale for $8.
My first sports car was a "bugeye" sprite ... so I enjoyed browsing on the site as well.
Great memories ...

I have seen others post different varities of cup holders on this site but I always felt this collapsible style would work the best.
