ac glovebox parts

[ussdubb]

So I have the factory ac in my 72 and wondering if anyone knows where I can find the door that goes on it for the second glovebox

What ac system do you have? They're are many different brands and styles that were used. Mine is called the Cust-O-Matic but it does not have a second glove box.

I checked out my factory AC glove box, it looks like the door is connected by a plastic hinge. I don't know if it can be replaced. There won't be any aftermarket suppliers for it, you would have to find a junk yard one if it can be replaced. Only other option I can think of if you can't fix the door is replace the whole AC box. That would be a big headache.

Or, you could just fab up a new one out of aluminum or something. A couple of jewelry box hinges and some wood screws should be enough to attach it to the AC box. I think it uses a magnet to hold it shut, so screw a small piece of magnetic stainless to the inside of the door where the handle attaches.

Yea I think the fab idea is going to be it. I got all the stuff to do it. Gives me a reason to finally set up my shop. Shear and break along with everything else has been in plastic for about 6 months now. Lol
