[Staowners] GLOVE LOCKER

[din1022099 at aol.com]

Gentlemen,

     I went to an auto uphostery shop and they had the same cardboard. 
Using the old part as a pattern I cut it out and used blind rivets to 
assemble. Of course this was on my DHC but I assume the Alpine was 
similar.

                                                                    Don

Hi George

             If you can't make another compressed cardboard item, How 
about getting hold of an old alloy tool or camera case that someone has 
thrown out, or by a new one at a dollar store, the alloy is very thin 
and can be formed by hand it has corner strips for reinforcing,3ply 
wood to strengthen the bottom & a lining you could line the inside with.

                    Cheers

                          Roy Segrott

Mal's reply reminded me that I have a job to do on the glove locker. On 
my Mk 1 Alpine, I have an almost flush , key-locking button to open the 
locker. The trouble is there is nothing behind it!!! I have the  
pressed cardboard  interior with its metal collar to bolt to the 
opening but it is in very bad condition.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can re-create this box? I 
thought that perhaps I could cover it with plastic film and lay up a 
light fibreglass covering, taking car to leave a lip for the metal 
collar - unless I could bolt the fibreglass direcrly to the body. Has 
anyone done something like this in the past or are they available 'off 
the shelf' at a modest price?

Hi Ramon, ................................................... long 
gone,a good source I found was under the top lining on the glove box 
lid,if you remove the lining, the original colour should be there, good 
luck, Mal Clark.
