Dear all,
another question I'd greatly appreciate you might help me with. I have the aluminum stripe / bracket where (as I have seen on pictures) a wooden cup holder can be fit in on the passenger side underneath the glove box (see picture).
Are those original cup holders still available? Or did somebody try to build them?
Here's the picture:

I don’t know if there was ever an original, but I do know someone makes that bracket and a table or cup holder.

Try Samba member Anchovy.
I got one and painted it blue to match my bus.
Mine is 'blank - with no cup holders - but I believe he can do those if you want.

I was able to find the aluminum "brackets" as a set of male/female, IIRC about 24-30", from Vintagetrailersupply, and they have lots of camper goodies! _________________ 71 tin-top westy

Dash trays. Make your own holes. |
