Glove box fork and spring mechanism

[gzmavian]

Well, this is a follow up on completion of the glovebox spring tube project.  It works perfectly !  Alfred, great engineering intuition.  A simple solution  to a frustration problem.   Thanks,  Greg

Alternative source for the tube:

IKEA floorlamp. I,m sure no-one at home will discover that I chopped 50 mm off the top of the lamp in the den.

I found a spring at Ace Hardware that was of the correct size; length and diameter but was stronger (thicker material).  This has worked great without the extra sleeve.

Hello Alfred,
Where the door lever (the half moon item) goes through the glove box is there a piece of metal to tidy up the hole in the covering material? A photograph of the glove box with the door open and fitted would help with this query.

Hi Eric,
yes there is, but NLA.  A member of the German group sells excellent reproductions should you need one:

I also bought one from Dave Gallon last year so he may still have some

Alfred,
Can you interperate the information on the site you mention,how much do they want and what is the address/ phone #?
On your photograph there appears to be two rubber buffers at the top left and right side (i have two holes only)is there any screws behind the buffers an d do you have the part # of the buffers

Hi Eric,
sent you a PM with the ordering info.
I do not have the original p/n for the two rubber buffers but I do know that MB lists a replacement p/n. However, don't buy them, they will not fit properly! They are too thick and the door shows a gap.

Hello Alfred,

Would you be so kind as to send the ordering info to me too via PM please.
I'm also missing that little metal trim ring on my pagoda (compliments of the PO...    )

Thanks in advance.
