1933 PD Plymouth bee hive glove box pictures

[1935EB]

Given that these were made out of a compressed paper material I wonder how many have survived. The dimension of the bracket on the large side is 3 x 2 3/4 in and the small surface is 3 x 1 1/2 in. looks to be 18 or 20 gage flat stock. The dimension of the bee hive is 5 inch x 10 1/2 wide x 11 1/2 in deep. Inside is painted black. Hope this is helpful, Chris

The fact that these appear to be one piece would make it hard to duplicate. It looks like something that could be reproduced in fiberglass handlayed over a wooden form or vacuformed in plastic then maybe flocking the interior. It might be tough trying to make one from the doorboard or cardboard in that exact shape. I don't imagine that there's alot of these surviving.

Don't know how many survive, but the one in my '33 is in at least as good a condition as the one in the photo. I would think that it would be pretty easy to make one up using grade school paper mache techniques. Time consuming part would be making up a form.

The little "L" shaped bracket mounts to the firewall. Does anyone know what type of screws and if the nut is inside or outside?

I don't see those screws in the parts book, so don't have a definitive answer to what they should be.

Mine is mounted with #10 fine thread screws with the nut on the engine side of the firewall. Everything was apart on my car, so that could be wrong. And it has been a long time since I put it back together and don't remember why I used that fastener. Generally I kept the fasteners with the part(s) they came with, so it is likely that the #10 fine thread is correct. However I was lax in documenting the direction of a number of fasteners so I could well have it wrong on the direction they were installed.
