382 glove box lid
 

The glove box lid on my '99 382 is broken and replacement is unbelievably expensive (was originally subcontracted out of house). The lid had been redesigned by Formula on newer models and does not retrofit. I am working on having a new one fabricated in acrylic at a local shop here in Toledo. I may be able to have additional units produced if anyone else has had a problem with theirs.

I might be interested - keep me in the loop.

I would also be interested. Please let me know the details....

BTW, how did yours break??

Re: 382 glove box lid
 

Will do.

It was broken when I purchased the boat used. The previous owner had it rigged with 950 H.P. blower motors running 114 m.p.h..

The way the latch is mounted off to the extreme starboard end of the lid, it did not hold up to the task. I am going to move the latch to the center where it should hold up better.

Finally making some progress on this. Fitting the two sections today, then we will bond them together and drill for hinge and latch attachment points.

RedDog - Just send me the templates when you're done. I've got the plexiglas, the router, and the solvent...

Dukenrock - You ba$tard, you've got the new style lid...

Will it work on Chris's? I think it would loo good and be functional.

Do you have a 382?

I will know soon how much $$ this fabrication cost and can probably have more made if you are interested. Maybe we should wait and see how mine works out first.

Re: 382 glove box lid
 

How long did you have to look at that before you figured that one out?:D

Trivia question, referring back to post #1:

Does anyone here know what "unbelievably expensive" translates to in dollars. (I do......) :eek:
