GU Second glove box mod DIY!!!

Thanks for the inspiration mudski! I've just ripped the front off mine.

I might put a few pics up when I start putting it together, as I've got a couple of ideas. One of which is making the door into more of a flat 'bench' on the inside, maybe even with cup holders...

We'll see how motivated I get though!

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

Yeh that's not a bad idea.
It would be fairly easy to do, there would be about a 25-30mm cavity to be used up.
I'll get some pics up tomorrow with some specific measurements you can have a look at!

I haven't thought of a compass. I need an LED arrow (that I can change from the drivers seat : straight ahead, left, right) and the caption below that says: 'the track goes this way'. (which got me in trouble last night, stuck for an hour in a puddle.)

And Cuppa, I'm not sure how I missed the pics you put up in June, but I did. The finished product looks good.

@ 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 space
So got all the tools got all the info .Go TD

I done a little bit today but something else came up so I had to stop...
Anyway here's my idea for the hinge.

Johnny, I seen the hidden lock on a kitchen door on a job site I went to. Although I haven't really looked, I reckon they could be had at Bunnings or somewhere similar.

Boosh, you will find the collar of the bush will be too tight on the lid I think. I remember trying something similar and it was too tight.

Yes, I thought the same, there is very little clearance between ‘lid’ & the opening it sits in.

Yeh it was but I took a bit off the back of the lid to make it fit. It fits pretty nice after I made the adjustment.

Once I finish the job off I'll put the pics up showing how it works. Won't be till Wednesday now, far too busy!!
