Glove box lid

[stevie.t]

I?m converting my 35 ford to rhd. Has anyone got a glove box lid I can use preferably with the dash opening so can weld it into my dash tia

PM you.
I have a good 36 Ford RHD dash, if you're interested?

are you going to run the stock dials?

[stevie.t]

Good question i think so but im not 100%. Why?

[nobler]

the glove box is a ectangle
its the same thing right and left so is the aperture
its an obstacle illuding
you think the hsape has no symmetry, but its the lower dash line
i have done this and i did weld it in slightly wonky

if you are running the stock temp guage - -isn't it mercury filled and has it might be a different length
anyways, thats where the kids in the 50's used to get mercury from to play with.

i thought the same but its handed, on left hand drive the glove box tappers to the right,

yes
35 36 pickup is a rectangle

buy the 1.2mm steel

erm if you go for a curved spoke banjo aftermarket wheel, they are 16'' and you can come over the whole inch to the right - -the dials will be off then see.
if you 'just ' use a 16 inch 40 deluxe wheel - -same.

if you find a rhd 37-40 steering box and mount - -the location will change too.

is it going ifs?
you have to plan it some as if you keep the stock three dials, it may all be to no avail anyhoo

if you run pas a 16 inch wheel is too big

anyplops of hard cheese - -can you not do the 180 degree spin round and choppy choppy

the plan was to cut the dial cluster out and the glove box aperture and just change them over, but the glove box is handed, hence why i want a glove box, the dials arent really a problem to swop,
