Morristown is a dealer. Email them with what you want and go from there.

I've made little rubber pads that fit in the bottom of my cup holders using shelf liner material and a cookie cutter. 3 for the front and 2 larger ones for the rear.

If you want me to make you some, just send me a self address stamped envelope with 2.00 (2 cover the material not making a profit here), and I can cut them out for you and mail them back. Just remember I am not a professional insert maker here.

So how does the rubber console that fits under the brake lever supposed to look like when it is installed. The one that is shown in minispeed.com or any other place someone might get it from is rectangular shaped. The area under the brake lever has an offset/angular shape as it approaches the gear shifter, and has a concave shape as it approaches the brake lever. I did not get how that was supposed to look. Does anyone have a picture of it installed? Or at least have a picture of the bottom portion of the item in question. Thanks.

Move a front cup holder tab affair to rear cup holder

I had removed one of the front cup holder's rubber tab ring and its plastic retainer ring so it could hold a coffee mug or coke can w/kuzi.

The rear cup holder did not have the four notches seen in front holder (after tabs removed) but the tab ring and retainer fit perfectly inside rear cup holder.

I keep my ashtray/coin catcher in rear cup holder and now it fits like when it took a front cup holder.
