[Healeys] Glove Box Rivet

[scotyp at comcast.net]

Rich,



Thanks a million for the photos. This is just the configuration my BJ8 has. I
made a discovery about how this rivet goes in that pre-drilled hole between
the screws on that bracket. It is press fit and you have to hold that bracket
with one hand from behind the dashB whilst pressing the rivet hardB into the
bracket hole with the other on the inside of the glove box...it will simply
snap into place then. Thanks again for the help!

Scot,

There is a 90 degree bracket that screws into the wood on the back of the
dash that holds and steadies the chrome post. Then the other bracket screws
into the inside of the door. The sliding link connects them.

Hope this helps.
