yenpit Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 The USA spec LHD glovebox does NOT use nuts & bolts to install..........simply self tapping screws with a small flat washer. There are qty 2 on either side of the "box" (door open), I think qty 2 along the bottom edge & qty 2 on the end cap. All of them screw into a white (now yellowed) plastic "insert" that pops into a hole in the dash frame. I just pulled one out of a dash assembly last night! Hope that helps! 😁 Quote Link to comment
Insitu_az Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Follow up on the screws that hold the glove box. They are metric, but a 1/2" long #6 binder head or lathe head screw will work (a little loose, but a #8 is too large). The original ones are black oxide color. Total of 8 needed. Six inside the glove box, and two at the bottom. -Guy 1 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Or just order metric black zinc pan head screws from belmetric. https://www.belmetric.com/black-zinc-phillips-pan-head-c-10_82_103/?zenid=u3ehhnfuhdd0ikipik01d6rbe5 You can google the conversion from the above post. Quote Link to comment
Insitu_az Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 The original screw is m4.2x13, but the head diameter is 12mm. The head diameter has to be this large to cover the large adjustment hole in the glove box panel. So if you decide to order from Bel Metric try this screw: https://www.belmetric.com/42mm-c-10_110_111_113/slh42x13blk-phillips-truss-screw-black-p-613.html?zenid=u3ehhnfuhdd0ikipik01d6rbe5 It should have a large enough head to work. -Guy Quote Link to comment
