So after I built the seat mounts into the cage structure, next thing I needed to do was a center console to mount my Winters shifter. While you're at it, may as well add some cup holders right? Also, I wanted the console to be a separate piece that was removable, since its already a bitch getting to the seat mount bolts. It would be almost impossible with the console in there. Anyhow here's how it turned out:
For anyone curious how I made it, here are some WIP photos. Started by measuring out, cutting and drilling the top plate. I wanted it to also be removable from the console frame.
The cup holders are 3-1/2" exhaust tubing. Used the hole saw rems for the bottoms. I wish I could have made them a little deeper but the cable assembly for the shifter is in the way.
The cup holders are about the right size for a standard soda can with one of those stiff foam coozies. The thinner neoprene coozies rattle around in there a little.
A cold barleypop or two always helps.
Test fitting the shifter and soda can.
Here you see what I mean about the depth of the cup holders. That's all I could get.
