This el-cheapo and somewhat fragile JCW arm rest is popular with the TR6
crowd. It can be coerced into an arm rest, storage, a location for power
outlets and one of those fold up cup holders can be screwed to the front as
I
am modeling here:

Used in this mode the armrest is too far back to be useable as an armrest
(any
further forward and you hit the cup with your elbow when changing gear) but
it
meets all of the other needs and I don't care about an arm rest as I'm
generally using both arms to drive.

For the other cupholder we use one that just clips into the window channel
on
the passenger side but I realize that might be a challenge on the earlier
cars
which were made before windows had been invented.

i would be very interested to see what you fellow TR3 owners have done to
hold
your tea or coffee cups while you drive. or other car owners.
now that the car
is on the road im driving the heck out of it, but find i need 2 hands to
drive.
a photograph would be great, probably have to mail it direct to my
email, or you tech guys will probably direct me to some other place on the
web.
i did think of building a custom box between the seats, but will i be
knocking the cup out of the holder every time i change down?
thanks
Frank
