You can get hinges that fit flush to the rear face of both dash and glove box.

the bit im not sure about with this dashboard is how to make the glovebox work well, i didnt really want visable hinges :( Have you thought about using concealed cabinet hinges? They are what is used on modern kitchen cabinets so you don't see the hinges. http://www.thehardwarehut.com/cabinet_chinges.php 61 Austin Seven; building a 1275 'over the clutch' turbo, R5 T2'd, custom intercooled, megajolt electrified, canyon carver

The ones I was thinking off are designed for lids on small boxes, they have an over centre action so stay closed. I think they were about £4 pair. Every day is a school day ...........

Another simple way is to use a couple of short lengths of webbing strap as a flexible "hinge".

also, my rear seats are nearly finished. Just redone them, i did them the first time with the armrest, but it just looked wrong and there was even less space for passengers. Ive sat the seats really low, like in the rear of a porche!

Great looking dash mate. I've been wondering about what to do with my centre speedo... How much clearance do you have between the speedo and the hole in the bulkhead after the mod for the turbo? Have you had any thoughts about heat transfer through from the engine bay? I'd be interested to hear in how you get on when its installed.
