Title: Original Glove Box
Post by: GWL on May 10, 2011, 14:45:52
I am building a Factory Five Roadster, Cobra Replica. I would like to duplicate the glove box as close as possible to the originals. I know there are aftermarket boxes but I like the shape and the way the originals look. There is just something about the originals that I like.

   Does anyone have pictures of the details of the box/door/hinge construction?
   
   Does anyone have dimensions and the location of the box on the dash?
   
   How is the bead attached around the glove box door? Detailed pictures?
   
   Does anyone have pictures of an uncovered dash showing the turned in curve to the opening?
   
   What is the radius of the edged opening of the box in the dash?

   
   Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
   
   Thanks for your time, George
