plug-n-chug

I was thinking about buying that plug and chug cup holder for my 87. does anybody have one or know how they are installed?

I know they go where the ashtray is but do you have to cut it out or something?

thanks in advance, jeff

i don't have one and don't quote me on this but from what i've seen i think you just take the metal ashtray out and it plugs in right there.

oh ok that makes sense,i just didnt know if i had to hack it up with a saw or something, thanks man

Correct, take out ashtray and stick it in the opening. It was nice to have a cupholder, but I did wonder if it didn't push down on the ashtray lid some. I use mine sometimes, and other times I don't. Not many options, dang Ford, what were they thinking. They might as well put a sign on the dash that said no drinking in the car

But, yea, Plug N. Chug is ok, no hacking, no cutting, just what it says. I did put a towel under it to keep it balanced better.

Some on here have the one that you change the console lid, but I believe it has no latching mechanism.

The spot between the seatbelt and the center console has always worked for me with 20 oz. soda bottles. The alternative I wound up happier with is one of those "Wedgie" cupholders (about three bucks at Wally World) secured to the passenger's side of the center console with a couple o' screws. Simple, cheap, sturdy, and never had a problem with it since.

The Plug n' Chug is nice, but expensive, and some guys have complained that it gets in the way of your ability to shift gears.
