Have a look at this. Should be one to suit your problem.

Malsal ,Thanks.I was thinking that but i kindve remembered the glove box being just a push in/release type with No knob.Kindve wanted to keep it that way but idk.Eventually i want to change the dash anyway so maybe ill do that.I love the look of a fresh burl walnut dash

See my Rokee dash ad in parts for sale..... should be a picture there.
Don't think any MkIII MINIs came with a glove box from factory....so hardware store gismo will do

Classic mini,mk3 on dash. Im having a hard time finding the little peice that holds the glove box door close.Held in by 2 tiny screws is about all i remember.I removed it as i didnt use the door back then but now i want to add one so i can put my fuse box behind there.Anyone have a pic of one? I forget what they even look like.
