GU Second glove box mod DIY!!!

[Cremulator]

Hey guys, so I have just attempted this and must say it looks the good it will all be one piece so I have to go under and up from where the glove box sits, would anyone like any templates before I carpet the thing?

I would be curious to see some templates. I plan to do this mod one day.

Yes please

With this thread resurrected it has been interesting to re-read it. I can report that 9 years later my second glovebox remains in regular use just as it was built, & has never needed any attention or fixing. Reading about doing it again brought me out in a cold sweat though!

Well, it's finished, a bit of tinkering and it's a well made box, have not done the door yet. The hinging system is daunting lol but I managed to get all the templates down. For those who are interested

And here it is all carpeted and installed, didn't have black screws but I'll paint them lol

I can fit a six pack in there, not advised unless your running air-conditioning though as it's against the vents for heater/ac

Big cheers to Mudski and Cuppa, loved both your well thought out directions, I take it the screws are holding as a hinge system? Do you reckon a blind rivet would work?

Maybe, but I imagine when you pull the rivet tight to install it will likely be too tight. The self tappers work well & have never required adjustment since first installed.

Love this thread. Have read it several times and this is a project I'm keen to get into. I'll post pics for your amusement

Yeah hard to believe I did this all that time ago. Glad I took the time to post it up, seems to have helped a few out which is what we always want to do. Mine is still functioning perfectly too by the way.

Everytime I go camping in mine and use the back of the car, I always think more can be done to utilise the two barn doors, for storage or something. The mind never stops ticking...
