Glove Box Latches

Does anyone reproduce the glove box latches? These would be for a Willys PU but i think its the same as a CJ. The only ones I can find are locking ones which are very expensive.

 

Does that one still work?

 

Nope, and the other side is worse.

 

I had to loosen that screw on mine that you have pictured in order to make mine work. On mine, if that screw is too tight it locks up.

 

These Omix repos worked on my '68 until I spent the big bucks on an NOS locking one. https://www.quadratec.com/products/22562_01.htm

The style is blah, but it fit and worked with no issues.

Proof it fit and worked:

 

I have a good one I will send you, do you want the whole door, or just the latch? My phone number is 734 776 7659.

 

Sent you a PM...

 

Rick to the rescue

 

I just pulled that round style off a ‘78 CJ7 in the u-pull yard a few days ago. Uses the “keyhole” shaped mounting hole. The “Deco” style in post #1 I think is only found on the pre-‘65 Willys trucks and Wagons. I’m not sure the round style will fit the Willys because the latch hole has a recess for the lock that fits the Deco style.

PM sent. will ship soon.

 

You might be right.I need to check my ‘62 wagon to see if it has the raised mount. I think my ‘57 has the Deco latch on the glovebox and the under seat doors.

It is Shipped, be there by 4-19-22.

 

My 1965 impala SS center console uses that style with a key. Not sure how the measure up but it looks just like the OP. Good chance those are faithfully reproduced.

 

The one in my 55, 64 and 72 Chevy trucks look exactly like a CJ5 one. Just sayin.

And yes, these aren't cheesy reproductions, the one in my 55 chevy works great and its a new one.

Don't use those. The Latch is on the wrong side... Jeep latch is on the keyed side of the lock.

 

Deal Done, Thanks Doug.

 

Still need 1 more....
