I made that pic pretty small to fit within the msg limits, if anyone
wants a larger one I can send it along. The finish should pop out the
logo, and you can see to that the armrest does not collide with the mug.

I made rails that fit longitudinally along the sides of the tray, it
won't go sideways and you could move it fore/aft if you want to get it
out of the way when not using it. I made it about an inch or so above
the sides of the tray, just because that fit the cups fairly well. I
don't think
Looks good -
You could add a horizontal piece between the rails with a second hole
for the cup that would prevent the cup from tipping under heavy
braking. Stick some velcro hook material to the bottom of the rails to
stick to the carpet in the tray to keep it from sliding during
acceleration --
I'll have to try one on the TD, see how that acceleration throws that
cup to the back window! Oh my aching neck!!!. The cup fits tight
enough in the hole there that it won't tip. I got the boy a set of
travel mugs so just made the hole the right size to fit them at the
height of the top

I wanted to make a cup holder for the boy's SD, to fit in the console.
Is it the same size as the 123 console? Can anyone take a measurement?
Or I can wait til he gets here.
Someone sent me a piccie of one a few years back for the 123. I have my
CNC running, thinking about something nice

Not only that, but there might well be differences between the first
and second generation 126s

My car currently has the original hands free phone still installed.
Ours had one, and when removed left this threaded boss that was
screwed to the sidewall of the console. I just rigged one of
those springy plastic cup grippers to it, and it serves. It's
not even much in the way.

I have a double walled stainless cup with a LARGE base that sits
nicely under the armrest (I always leave it down) in a 126, is snug in
the 124, and didn't fit in the 123. However, it is a pain to alway
pull it out from under the arm rest, especially if I have a passenger.
