Previous owner cut out a piece of the glove box to install gauges were the radio was initially located.
I want to use the glove box from a later model (smaller) to replace the missing piece.
Any idea how to attach it into the glove box (fiber glass, glue, ...)?

There's a strap that's supposed to be inside your dash that holds the glove box in....

Yes, I still have got the strap but want to cut out the missing piece from one glove box and "glue" it into the other one.

you could ue some fiberglass patch epoxied on to the outside surface once you cut the replacement patch to size. I did this to strengthen my pedal board.

Why? Seems like a lot of effort. Is yours an early model and you can't located the wider box?

No, to install I need the early, wider one with the missing piece and I have a spare, smaller one.

I would post a WTB in the classified section to find an early glove box. I would think someone might have one available. There is a FS ad in the classified now for a full 71 part out. Contact the seller and see if he/she has one.

I have used shellac as a binder, along with epoxy, acrylic, and white glue. It is paper mâché no mater how you slice it.
I hate installing these things though. Don't make it too inflexible.
