UPDATE- 

I like the V1 version which I am leaving on here as well, but V2 fit my space a little better. V2 are the first 6 pictures, and the cup holder I have in picture 6 is the v1 with the V2 adapter.

 

Original

I got a Next Level Racing Pro seat as a present and wanted to make some upgrades so that I can spend more time racing.  I use the paddle shifters and race in VR most of the time so I do not need the Shifter/ebrake platform mount.  I repurposed this mount by taking off the upper plate and made a cup holder, cell phone holder, and PS5 controller holder in the same space. I also added a hook for hanging the VR cable and headset on the opposite side.

Since the shifter platform mount can be installed on either side I included top plates for either one.  Note that right side (when seated) mounting of the multi-use plate will require some extra manipulation of the seat and is not recommended unless you feel very comfortable with modifications.  Mounting on the left side (when seated) will not require any modifications, but the phone stand can get in the way of the opening if you are not careful.

The phone stand is intended to hold a cheaper alternative mag safe charger for the iPhone ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BZTTPW1W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 ), and was tested on everything from the iPhone Mini to the Pro Max sizes.  I do not currently have an android phone to test but if you send me dimensions I will attempt to mock something up.

The entire setup was printed in PLA Bambu Black Sparkle PLA (with the exception of the lower half of the cup-holder that was in red).  I recommend 4 walls and 25% gyroid infill on the  hooks, phone stand, and cup-holder, 3 walls and 10% infill on the base plate.

 

HARDWARE: You will need 3 m5 bolts min of 20mm long, with nuts (aircraft style recommended) and 3 15mm or larger washers.  You will also need VHB double sided tape for the bottom of the base plate and the back of the mag safe charger.  You will also need quite a few zip ties or wire wraps to tidy up the wires.

  

This is a work in progress, and I am open to suggestions and alterations if they help make this work for your purposes.
