I was looking at a few speedsters on e-bay that I could never afford but I came across this for a cup holder and was wondering if anyone has any idea who makes these. I just LOVE them! If anyone is interested, the ebay # is 221082766890.

They are called EXPENSIVE!

Where is the shifter on that speedster? That is my question of the day.... I do really like that cup holder. If I had an ash tray to hold my change, not to smoke, I would be counting it right now to see how much more I would need.

Nice - wish there were some for us on an EMPI budget!
Just keep in mind that unless you weld in a support plate around the hole, you'll weaken the tunnel doing that.
I like Theron's version... myself... very cool...
Bug: on a VW-pan based car, you do know there is "stuff" inside the tunnel ? Yes?
Wait......You say there's "stuff" in there?
What kinda stuff??
Magical stuff like a pipe that holds raw energy transformed into a fluid. Another pipe that holds a non-compressible fluid that is used to convert motion into heat. A tube made out of metal molecules that is used to vary the mechanical advantage of a device that converts matter into energy. You know, stuff like that.
Far-out baby...I remember a few guys like you-they were usually in a bean bag chair near the hookah...under the Day-Glo Hendrix poster.
........oh, "the stuff" in the tunnel...........

Ommmmm.........
Well...didn't I get an education. Thanks to everyone for enlightening me....and to Lane for believing in the Force....
Yup..........
"May the Farce be wit'chu!"
That tunnel stuff is far out, man!

I have those cup holders in Pearl. Had the same thing in my boat. They're simple, unobtrusive and......they work.
Ohhhh...edsnova.....I do like those....good alternative....thanks!
Here's what they look like installed. I have to bend over to reach, but that's no big deal compared to the VW basked that was in my way on the tunnel before. Not quite as elegant as the Santana solution, but loads cheaper and easier to install. Also, I have a feeling that they work better, too. Thanks for the inspiration, Gordon. Yes, I know, I'm wearing Crocs. They're my work shoes. I don't drive in them :-)

You'd be real popular at the Harley factory, Tom. Ask Jimbo how we know.
Tom, your gonna need a long straw
So, Tom,
You let Mario Batali drive your car?
I thought he was a Vespa kinda guy...

I noticed on eBay that you can get these in tan, gray, blue, navy blue, white, and probably other colors, as well. Not the hat, but the boat cupholders.
Tom B.--you forgot "crash helmet."
For a non-fixed solution, if I was handier, I would consider fabbing up a cup holder that would hang off the top of the door mointed to the side-curtain hole.
Someone on eBay is selling a lot of 1200 of the square black ones.

Tom,
Consider a cut-down super gulp cup and duct tape
Voila! Redneck window mount cup holder.
i have these. i ordered them from santana and plan on installing them on my speedster later. they're really cool. i showed them to my boyfriend, who has driven everything from vettes to mercialagos, and he says they're the coolest cup holders he has seen. worth the spend. IM referred me to santana after i called them asking if i could purchase the cupholders they use in their cars. =) santana is a super nice guy as well. total pleasure to deal with.
Here is another cup holder that could work in our tubs. Not as cool as the ones from Santana but a little cheaper. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HFM-BWCH/
