Well the one I got from Ron turned out to be a standard sedan, not a touring. They are different. So if anyone needs one I have one available.
@Pete in PA, if yours are available I'd like to see if we can make a deal.

I don't have one for you, but have you checked compatability with the D2 or P2? I would guess they are the same.
-
Looking for a glovebox door for P2. I'm not sure if the D2 will fit, but I'm guessing not as I know the dash has different lines to it.
Posted on the wanted sections as well as checked eBay, hemmings, multiple salvage operations, etc. The only one I can find is a lexan reproduction from a hot rod shop. I'd prefer metal if possible.

As the title says, looking for glovebox door (drivers side if it matters) for a P2 deluxe. Not picky on condition as long as it's solid, although woodgrain intact would be awesome... Not holding my breath.
I've been watching eBay and checked multiple mopar salvage yards/hemmings ads. No luck so far.
-
Ok, my part number matches (655860). The other side has filler in it, so it's unreadable. I'm guessing it was hot at some point? Anyway if one matches I assume the other would. PM me if you are selling these.
-
The P1 and P2 are nearly identical. I'll check the part numbers, are you interested in selling them if I think they will work? I thought I had one sourced, but he hasn't gotten back to me for a good bit. Plus I don't mind stocking up on spare parts where is reasonable to do so.

My understanding of this particular clock, is that it isn't out of anything. It's a general use auto clock sold as an aftermarket add on to whatever car you want to put it in. The warranty expired in 47, so it may be just like what's on your Chevy. Although I though the Chevy cave with a clock?
-
So those don't fit the d2? But you think they will fit mine?

Maybe that capacitor is a mercury switch and once mounted when the glove box door opens it sends power to the socket?
Possible. But either it's damaged or I'm not grounding the socket good enough because I still don't get any voltage to it.

The metal socket of the light would have to be grounded to get the light to work. It seems like only a power source wire is going to the socket which is not enough to make the light turn on.
Yup. I tried grounding the socket as well. No go.
The socket wire dues run through what looks like a capacitor of some sort. I'll look at t that more later and see if there is any information on it. The wire insulation is worn a little just before that and the is no voltage either side of it.

My 'dumb' thought is to see if there is voltage when you lay the clock face down, the position it would be in with the glove compartment door open. Perhaps there's a mercury switch hidden somewhere that closes contact when its face down.

I'll give that a try! That would be pretty slick, simple as it may be.
-
I can see the concept, but I don't see how the switch would be tripped. There is nothing wire into a vehicle harness. Those fit wires are it.
-
I suppose it mounts wherever you want it. But it's either a bad connection somewhere I can't see, or I'm missing something altogether, because there is no voltage at that socket no matter what I do.
Also, I misspoke earlier. The socket connects to the same post as the hot wire, the other socket there is the clock internal light. That means that wine it appears to share the post, it must be isolated somehow or the wire is completely broken inside (doubtful), because the clock works and still no voltage at the socket.
-
Nothing in the socket. Looks like a standard socket to me. Here is the back of it and all four wires. The mystery socket is the one going into the case on the left. It's somewhat academic at this point because I'm positive that out work with just the other three. One ground, one constant hot and one switched (for the backlight, that will get wired into these instruments light switch). I'm am still very curious though.

There is a swich of sorts in the body of that socket. It consists of a couple of contacts and 3 small balls. When you open the glove box door, the light should come on.
However they can corrode and become inoperative.
If you can get it apart and clean it, it will work
That is interesting! I will look for this when I get a moment. Im not sure I understand how the door would trigger the switch if thats the case.

How many contact points inside that socket?
One from what I recall, I will look more closely when I get back to it.

Am I reading $129.00 per yard? How much material does an antique car usually average for seats and side panels?
Yes $129/yrs. As to Wayne's post below, I don't know if it's a running yard, or width etc. If his information is anywhere close for my own vehicle (9yrds), I'll be looking at at least $1000 in material.

It's a touring sedan, with trunk. Curious what the difference is, mine look just like what you have pictured.

One half of an inline fuse?
Craig
I was thinking that, but the clock and internal light function just fine without this connected to anything. The three other wires are confirmed power (one for clock and one for light) and ground (common ground). So what would the fuse be used for? These are all factory wires by the way. It is a NOS clock that was never installed.

certainly looks like a bulb socket, your lack of information about which vehicle the clock belongs to doesn't help, is there a place for it on the clock ?, you say it doesn't do anything, how can that be ?, when it's plain to see that if a bulb is installed and voltage is applied, the bulb would light.
You would think that to be the case, but I can promise you it does not light a bulb. That has been tested. The clock itself is an aftermarket and not specific to a make or model but it's from 1945 or thereabouts. It's going into a 36 plymouth.
-
I'd like to hook up this clock but I'm not quite sure of this socket on the back. The clock runs and lights fine of the other three leads. I tried I bulbs in the socket thinking it was just an extra lead for a light, but it doesn't do anything?? What am I missing?

Check with SMS, they will send you a sample of what they have that closest matches your original. Here is the sample they sent for my P2

We are looking into this right now on the P2. My nease does custom art vinyl wraps, so she is going to try to do our glovebox doors. If that doesn't work out then we will try grain-it supplies. The P2 has a metallic stripe down the center, that's going to be the hardest part to recreate.
