Hi All,
Thanks for your comments, it looks like the body shops I've approached so far are rather on the high side. Unfortunately I really don't have the knowledge or skill to do much of the preparation so I'll just have to look for someone who does want the work...

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the email, hopefully my reply is in your inbox.

Hi All, I'm curious what people are paying to get their cars painted: I've had a couple of quotes that are considerably higher than I expected and I don't know if they are reasonable or 'I really don't want to do it 'prices...Am I completely out of touch with reality or is 5K+ really the going rate?...

An alternative for the time-poor is a motorcycle rear brake fluid reservoir.

I'm on the Berks/Hants border if that's any use? Not a runner yet, very much under construction but would certainly give you an idea about fit!
If of any use send me a PM.
Andy.

Thanks Richard, it seems I was making my search harder than it needed to by looking for a brass hinge. I just couldn't bring myself to spend £40 on a hinge! All sorted now with a stainless steel one.

Thanks Oleg, I completely missed that on the CBS site. It's not quite what I had in mind, but I realised the key word to search on was 'latch' - hey presto, found something suitable on eBay.

Hi All, I'm currently finishing my dashboard and so far I've drawn a blank with a suitable catch for the glove box cover that fits the hole in the dash as supplied by Triking. Can anyone point me to a compatible catch? It would be handy too if anyone knows of a suitable brass hinge... Thanks for any...

If sourcing the elbows is a problem, there's always the option of 3D printing them, either at home or using the services of a print shop. Or for the adventurous, print in wax and investment cast them...
