Glove box
clinker42 - June 6th, 2010 at 01:23 PM

Hi
Would anyone have a picture of a 1973 beetel glove box, taken from under the bonnet. I just recieved a new one from classic and the strap that holds it in place doesnt reach the bracket on the body.

So I presume there could be two glove boxes.

Thanks.

sounds like they may have given you a pre 67 one
theyre a tad bigger. but all 68 on are the same size/shape except Lbug obviously

I usually find that the strap isn't supposed to reach all the way around, there is about a 1 to 2cm gap. The screw for the strap is very long for this reason.
