Glovebox hinge and catch

Post by Skeomorph » Tue Jun 20, 2023 3:55 pm

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/all suggestions.

The one I have on an aluminium dash might be suitable.

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.

Piano hinge from a hardware store is good.

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.
