But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Right, rough dimensions not 100% precise but pretty accurate. Enough to gauge if you can work them into your dash.

total length extended 254mm +10mm for the connector on the back.
86mm wide, on the body.
22mm thick, on the body.

Front face is
95mm, wide.
25mm, thick.

Collapsed it's 151mm from back to front, +10mm for the connector.

I won't embed the image because they're large.

No probs, hope it can be of help to anyone wanting a cup holder install without using universal ones and would like individual holders.

Just noticed the VW & Audi logo's on the top of the cup holder... What's that doing on a Ford?  :evil: Tight gits couldn't even have theirs stamped differently  :grin:

That'll probably make it easier  :cool:

Wonder if you can swap out the tray on the left for another cup holder :huh:

Looked further down the page and scene someone with a dual cup holder :cool:
