Would someone please measure the dimensions your 1947-51 120/140/140A glove box door? I get to make one.
If you happen to have one laying around that you would sell, I would be interested in that too.
The old ADF that was in the glove box opening is in the discard pile. I bought a glove box, but the home made door is actually smaller than the box!
Also, would you measure the depth (length) of the glove box? I may just make a new box as well. Mine appears to be home made. It's out of square.
Thanks!

Re: Glove Box Door
I'm away at work Steve, but if no one gets back to you in the next 10 days I will do it then.

Re: Glove Box Door
The dimensions are:
L = 12 1/2”
W = 6 1/4”
H = 4 7/8”
The box is all spot welded together and has a mounting flange of 1/2 X 1/2 inch angle spot welded on each side 1/2” back from the face.
I can send a picture but only by e mail, I don’t know how to send a picture on this forum.

Re: Glove Box Door
I think he is just looking for the dimensions of the door, not the actual box.

Re: Glove Box Door
Thanks, Steve, for the box dimensions. Now all I need is the door dimensions, and I'll have everything I need.
No need to send the photo. Thanks for the offer.
Take care.

Re: Glove Box Door
The door dimensions are:
H = 5 1/2”
W = 6 3/4”
The knob is 1/2” below the top and is in the center, located in a 1/2” depression. The hinge system is rather complex and only a picture could describe it adequately.

Re: Glove Box Door
Thanks, Steve for the door info.
I've got the parts manual which shows the hinge in detail. I've seen a lot of parts for sale, but never a set of those hinges or the door they are attached to! I don't have the instrument cover panel assembly for either side, so I will be hinging the door from the bottom of the glove box with piano hinge. I had to do the same thing on my 1st C140. It actually works out pretty good, just not any where close to original!
I'm going to try to make a punch/die set out of hard wood to try to put the dimple in the door. I didn't think about the location of the dimple. You came thru in flying colors for me!
Thanks again.
P.S. I think we need to rename this association "Steve's Cessna 120-140 Association"...there are a lot of "Steve's" on here!
