DrivenVW Shifter-Mount Cup Holder + Fire Extinguisher Bracket
DrivenVW Shifter-Mount Cup Holder + Fire Extinguisher Bracket
Meet the simplest, cleanest way to add modern convenience and real safety to your vintage Volkswagen. The DrivenVW Shifter-Mount Cup Holder locks onto the tunnel at the shifter base, placing a deep, stable drink pocket beside a quick-access fire-extinguisher cradle—so your big drinks stay upright and your extinguisher stays secured and within reach.
Why owners love it
- Holds big tumblers securely: Designed with a deep pocket and tall sidewall to keep larger cups and bottles planted—no wobble, no tip-overs, even on bumpy roads and during spirited downshifts.
- Dedicated extinguisher mount: An integrated bracket keeps a standard compact automotive extinguisher tight to the tunnel and off the floor (no rolling around, no lost seconds if you ever need it).
- Driver-focused placement: Everything sits low and to the side of the shifter—clear of your shift pattern, seat belts, and handbrake—so it feels factory and never in the way.
- Rock-solid feel: The mount ties into the shifter base for a rigid, vibration-free platform. Once tightened, it’s not going anywhere.
- Clean, vintage-correct look: Minimalist lines complement a classic interior. Choose raw or powder-coated finishes to match your build.
Construction & finish
- Precision-cut metal (laser-cut and formed) for strength and repeatable fit.
- Durable powder coat options and a raw/unfinished option for custom color or patina builds.
- Smooth edges and a softly radiused top lip so cups slide in/out without snagging.
Fitment
- Built for air-cooled VW with tunnel-mounted shifters—commonly Beetle/Type 1 and many Type 3 and Thing setups.
- Retains normal seat movement and handbrake access on stock interiors.
- If you’ve got a unique shifter or tunnel setup, reach out and we’ll help confirm fit.
What it holds
- Big drinks: Deep pocket accommodates most popular large tumblers, water bottles, and to-go cups (think daily-carry bottles and oversized coffee cups).
- Fire extinguisher: Cradle is sized for standard compact automotive units; secure with the included strap or your preferred quick-release ring.
Install in minutes
- Loosen the shifter base hardware.
- Slip the DrivenVW plate into position at the tunnel. "Make sure the lockout plate is on top of the cup holder base".
- Re-align the shifter, tighten hardware, and insert your extinguisher.
- Drop in your cup and drive.
No permanent modification required on most cars. Reversible if you ever want to move it to another vehicle.
Designed for real life
- Daily-driver proof: Keeps condensation and minor splashes contained; easy to wipe clean.
- Show-day friendly: Looks purposeful and period-appropriate—no plastic add-ons or flimsy clip-ons.
- Safety-minded: Moving the extinguisher off the floor and into a fixed bracket means fast access when seconds count.
Care
Wipe with mild soap/water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dull powder coat.
FAQs
Will it interfere with shifting?
No—the pocket sits low and out of the shift arc. You can row gears without tapping your cup.
How big of a cup does it handle?
The deep well is designed for oversized daily tumblers and bottles used by most owners. If you run a truly giant bottle, shoot us a message to confirm.
Do I need to drill?
Typically no. It sandwiches at the shifter base using existing hardware on most tunnel-mounted applications.
Which extinguisher works best?
Any compact automotive extinguisher (the common glovebox/trunk size) fits great. We recommend keeping one in every classic VW.
