[Peugeot-L] Peugeot 505 cup holder prototype

I had a little time this weekend and decided to tinker with something that has been bugging me about the 505 model. No cup holders!

I have been thinking about how was going to implement this, and decided that the parking brake area made the most sense.

I rummaged around in my father's workshop until I found an old 2 inch pine plank meant for a stair step. While rough it works. On my second prototype I am going to reduce the size of it as it rubs too much. I am also going to increase the bore of the holes and line them with neoprene or something similar. Oh, and of course I am going to put a nice burl walnut stain on it....

The photos of my 505 cup holder can be found here:

I originally was going to go the route of near the radio after seeing how the Land Rover Discovery II accomplished this. (See the Disco II cup holders here: http://www.roverconnection.com/Disco%202%20Acc/rcd2cup.htm) Those still could work, but that is not the route I wanted to go.
