Has anyone used the cup holder that sits on the pass. side of the trans tunnel and clips under the console trim at the top and under the rug at the bottom?

We sell a BUNCH of those to the C5 and C6 people.  I had never seen one for a C3 until the newer ones came out.  Everyone seems to like them, except they only hold one cup.

Hey Larry, I just got an e-mail from you guys that my cable is in, can we add one of these cup holders to the order? I will call tomorrow with the credit card info.
I only want it for one cup for the wife, I have one that fits under the parking brake but I removed the one on the drivers side because it digs into my leg.
Thanks for the pictures Mike.
Dave

There are a few that slip over the brake handle, and Dave just told me he had one that mounted under the brake handle, but was too wide.  We carry the wooden one that fits over the brake handle, and it has plenty of clearance, and rubber to keep it tight.  People like it except it tilts with the handle.  It holds two cups nicely.

Is there room to put two of the single holders on the passenger side?
What do they cost?
Do they hold a standard size water bottle (12oz)?
How about a 20 oz. bottle?

They are 4 1/4 " wide, and have a 2 7/8" opening for the cup.  A pop can is
2 1/2", and I think a water bottle is about the same size.  The Corvette mugs are just under 2 7/8" so they fit perfectly.  They cost about $40.00.

The wooden two-hole ones that fit over the parking brake have 3 1/2" holes, and cost $35.00

Dave,
 
If you want a picture of what I can put into the single cup holder I'll take some.   This will give you an idea.  Ying%20Yang

I wasn't really looking to replace my two-holer that sits on the console, under the parking brake lever.
 
Just checking if that would be a solution for people.
 
This is the one I have.
