i've pulled the glovebox out (that was a silly thing to do ) now no amount of gaffa tape is going to hold it together .
what are the options for replacing it ? i'm not worried about being original. i was thinking of building a slightly bigger one to keep all my beachboy CDs in. whats the best/easiest material to work with ?

I have used a Rare Spares repro, good quality and fit, and look the part.

Cheers,

If you are going to build a new one, then 6mm MDF would probably be the easiest material to work with.

I also had the thought for cd's but you will find that the wiper arm has not much clearance from the glove box, which stopped me from making one to fit.

Ask me about microwaving cats for fun or profit.

I made 1 out of steel. Used the old 1 as a template and folded and welded it together. It's basically 2 pieces. I also made an internal facia where I mount my CD player.
Covered inside with carpet.....looks and works sweet.

I made mine out of fibreglass. Just made a template one out of 6mm MDF white board. Then a little gelcoat and a few layers of glass.
