this may be the one

Slacker , what are we to do with you lol

I have just received some 3kg and 6kg electro magnets which I plan to use via a momentary on button.
Magnet is abit smaller than a 10c piece and about 8mm thick, cant put up pics as my son stuffed...

its not hard just fiddly do it over a period of two weeks.
Just remember to get "PUSH TO OPEN" catches, , they are from TV cabinet

As all that have done it before me have said and I totally agree cutting out the facia
is the easy part, making the box up is a PITB as we all say the hinge hole is the pits

I need to line the inside of the lid and put the lanyards in and its done,
looks the same as the others except its black

That will cost you more, just do the hidden glove box

YOU are not wrong, I nailed it first time did a little dance of joy yeah only one chance

A tip for drilling hinge hole, look where Cuppa drilled his, take a pic and crop it.
pretty hard to stuff up the lid as it can only go in one spot really.
Its about 12mm up from the lip, drill...

@ Mudski to adjust the push to open lock I take it you need to trim the top and sides of the lid.
I have a little adjustment on the lock but not much

Point is I already have a glove box I don't use, in hindsight will be handy for
my mate when we go away as he can throw his wallet ,phone Etc in there.
Just don't think its worth the hassle. IMO...

No one told me how fast that glue gun glue goes off, ha ha anyway all in,
make sure you buy a push to open magnetic lock as mudski used, or you wont be able to open it.
Found some black speaker...

Not butchered came out exactly the same as yours and Cuppas.
I'll now need to bend that metal plate on the RHS out of the way.
Its my job using tools every day, Not happy with the magnetic locks...

I used a 5" grinder as yes was shetting myself , mainly if I over cut, but I under cut then cleaned up with
my B/D power file. Off to bunnings tomorrow for bits and pieces.. hopefully finished by...

Ok mocked up a cardboard box, and my theory was right I should be able to fit it from the front and secure it via two screws markd in picture.
Not sure if it needs a lid , will see later on,...

To those doing this to this stage is no problem, to those who have done this to keep the steel running along the bottom that supports OE glove box catch
I've drilled and riveted it from the bottom...

Yeah thinking the same wear will be minimum, but knowing my mate he'll want to put a metal sleeve in it.lol Shouldn't laugh but he will
He's very fussy my mate Phil is, Better for me he is. Been...

Glad I caught you Been sitting here thinking about the self taper, I actually think you could fit a small nut and m3 screw, or similar.
Not sure how big a box I'll make as its mainly to house my...

Got it, might show my sheetie mate he may have an idea after all this way his job for 40 yrs,
But I like the self taper theory KIS, noticed you ground a bit off the bottom of the lid, I take it this...

Yeah no stopping be now. I noticed you need that steel plate thingy as it houses the lock bracket for the OE glovebox.
can't see how the hinges will work yet,, will see if any pics.
Your first pic...

Hole all cut no dramas just used a dremel syle tool with vibrating straight cutter.
Think I'll notch that piece of steel so hinges have some thing with meat to work off.
Will make up the box insert...

Ok I've started to remove that dash pad , you'll need to pull the felt backing away to expose 6 screws, after you remove the glovebox itself
there is also an electrical box that you need to remove...

way too hot here to work outside hopefully tomorrow I'll strike a blow

Ripper Boosh
@ Mudski where do you buy that hidden lock thingy
Definitely starting tomorrow. As I said I've seen Mudski's and its
a must do for any non passenger airbag Patrol. Such a wasted...

Hey Boosh I need some motivation been dying to do this since Cuppa finished his.
I'd like to super impose a compass into the lid, or a proper clock
