Wanted early glove box lock and tool box cylinders

Post by Pascal81 » Fri Dec 10, 2021 10:14 pm

Dear all, I searching since a long time for an early keyed glove box lock, mine is missing unfortunately since the Jeep was being striped from Someone for parts :(

Is there anyone who can help me on thes lock?

Is would also need 2 tool box cylinders- in case someone has some spares left :)


Best regards

I’m located in Europe, and it’s a script MB early 42’

The original door was missing but I have found one that fits, the hole where the lock goes into the dash, is a small long rectangular hole, the normal push button doesn’t fit in here, and sits to low, would it help if I would post a few pics?

Thanks for all the help

Best regards

Pascal

What i did was buy a 1936 gmc glove box lock, then i had to find a correct bolt for the lock which is not easy. You could duplicate one if know a good machinist. keep in mind the key will be slightly different. be prepared to spend the kids college money on. Or just change to later door and lock.
