I found another plug at Home Depot that is mostly hard plastic but has a metal shaft. The rubber gasket from the first plug is far superior to the one with the metal shaft so in the latest version of this mod, I married the best parts of both. The result is a very sturdy cup holder mount that can be used for many applications. I have recently made a fly rod holder that mounts to this device. Other things are in the works.

Until next time.

Hi Bob,
Can you provide a pic of the upgraded cup mount with the metal shaft? Also, which section of Home Depot did you find the cleanout plug?

Thanks for the great ideas!
