I am not sure what you call these twist things I am attaching in the photo but I picture your drink holder somehow attached to a universal U type bracket almost like a slightly larger three sides of a square roof support. The bracket hugs around the roof support and then these two things are twisted in until tight. So if the roof support as larger they would be tightened in less or if it was smaller you would tighten them more. This way there is no drilling involved. You pull it out screw the two screws in and hold your drink. I may be totally off base with this idea as I am more of a details guy not so much a 3D printer and fabricator like this but who knows!

Thanks golf cart man, that's a really good idea. I wonder if those are considered a knurled nut, I dunno. The less invasive version that doesn't penetrate the roof strut might make a lot of sense as an option.

I can't imagine the time spent on a complete overhaul like your carts. Something like that would take me years.

Thanks kgsc, that is not what I thought you meant, I had it backward LOL...so I appreciate the pic. It appears that nut is compressing from the outside, yet takes up little room. I now understand your idea...brilliant.
