Liz managed to break the one i had made, any suggestions for RHD drivers side replacement?

I have Remus blinds.
 
No suggestions?

Scrappie/Breaker's Yard, Kev? There is a former Dealership on another Forum that claims to be about the fun of motorhoming [Brian & Chrissy/Chrissie, IIRC] who has developed a sideline 3D Printing all sorts of M/Home accessories, water tank caps/spouts, modified engine bay drainage to stop the older models pouring water over the inner wings and rotting them etc. I have a very hazy recollection that he made a cup holder that was very reasonably priced

I'll never go on there again Steve, a bunch of unpleasant so far up their collective backsides IMHO, it was the first forum i joined asked questions but very little response very cliquey, so I went onto Facts and it was like night and day, its changed a lot on there since though a lot have gone over to the dark side which is fun NOT.
 
As for a cup holder, position is key with the blinds in the way.

I'm an ex-member too, Kev, so can relate to your comments! But I thought a search for the 3D Printing couple might be a solution!

Sorry Steve, my dismissevnespence was accidental, my mind forked of altogether, 3D printing is brilliant if you have a good design and a decent machine, I nearly bought one last year but drawing in 3 dimensions is beyond my intellect, I struggle moving in 3D most of the time.

Then there is where and how do I mount it, I'm okay with wimmin and bikes.

Because Brian is a former Dealership Technician, his 3D Printed stuff tends to work first time. I don't know how long he takes to develop the design file, but the stuff he makes does tend to evoke a 'Why didn't Fiat think of doing that?' reactions. If he has a Cupholder [and I am going from memory], he may be able/willing to modify the design so that you can place the cupholder in a safer location! Again, from memory, I'm sure he's made modifications to suit individual requirements. For the external water caps, he asks that you measure the external diameter [and there is a screen drawing of where you take the measurement] so that the cap fits first time.

Simple is best I just searched Ebay and this popped up, might just be the very jobbie.


I just need to check that they are not in the way getting in and out.


Some others

The last 2 photos 'sell' it, Kev, On its own, it looks pig ugly, but when the holder is latched onto the vent grilles, it looks both elegant and functional

Who's going to be first to buy and test run one then?

I'll pass for now as not going anywhere until at least end of April for Liz's birthday.

The annoying thing is Transits have the all over the place.
 
I had something similar once; it very quickly was launched into a new relationship with a waste bin. It just didn't latch in properly
 
Here you go...
Works really well for me, allows adjustment of vent and full flow when holder is empty, does not get in the way of knees getting in and out of van.
You could use black screws and washers for a tidier look.

It must be Tuesday :D :D

Thanks for the pictures I think Liz would manage to hit it, she struggles to get in the van and swings around a bit, she starts off on the wrong foot (left) but she says she can't do right foot first as she doesn't have the bend, but depending where we're parked, she finds it easier to get in on the drivers side.

I think I'm going to have another look to see if I can find one which fixes higher up and nearer to the hinge, I think I posted one earlier in the thread.
