Thanks Jay.
   
   I know Nick, have been to his shop and looked at his dash boards. Even ran into him at SAAC37. He had promised me the details I wanted but he must be away because I have not been able to get a hold of him this week. I was ready to layout my glove box and other items on the dash so I thought I'd try here again.
   
   Thanks again, George

I am renewing this old thread in hopes someone may help here. I have been off my project car for a while now and am getting back to work on it again.
   
   I would be interested in both the street 289 Cobra dash glove box details but I'm building a 427 street Cobra dash and it is those sizes and details that I need the most. I attended SAAC 37 in Watkins Glen, NY this spring and took lots of pictures but failed to get dimensions and still have questions about the details of the beading around the glove box door.
   
   Thanks for your time, George

Cobra (Thames Ditton) Forum / Original 427 Glove Box Details Needed

« on: July 12, 2012, 15:06:54 »

I am building a Factory Five 427 Cobra and I am interested in the details for the glove box. There are lots of detailed dimensions out there but everyone seems to have their own idea of 'original'. I would like to duplicate the construction and dimensions as close as possible.
   
   Does anyone have the original 427 street glove box dimensions and any construction details they could share?
   
   I attended SAAC 37 in Watkins Glen, NY this past spring and took lots of pictures but failed to get dimensions and I still have questions about the details of the beading around the door.
   
   If anyone has the proper dimensions of the 289 Cobra glove box I would be interested in that for my files too.
   
   Thanks for any responses, George

[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?]

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.
