Lightbulb cheap fix/cup holder

This is a good fix. Go to Wal-M / K mart...
buy the Roadmaster 16oz travel mug / take the mug to where you buy O-rings
for water filters/ get some velcro/ pull the rubber cup holder liner out of the
base/ tape the velcro to the base & the other velcro to the mug /put the base back/put the O-rings (I used two for each cup) on the cup from the bottom just enough that they are almost tight/ now let the O-rings center
the cup as you push it into place. Done !

This helps you with the reach. It will take a 12oz soda/pop can your your
fountain drinks (no big gulp) & for you speed-heads yes your STARBUCKS.

try it out.

It's simple:

Buy a big travel mug.

Put O-rings around the bottom of the mug.

Put Velcro on the base of the mug and bottom of cupholder.

Place the mug in the cupholder. The Velcro and the O-rings will hold it in place so you can use it as a raised cupholder.

Only problem is that it won't hold my insulated coffee mug with the handle.
