PGB BME Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 A bit of help please, I’m putting together my TR4 white dash with metal cubby box lid. the lid lock has chrome finger pull and at the rear of the lock there is a shaped “u” bracket and grub screw,, When I put it together, the U shaped bracket when screwed up doesn’t secure the lock, it’s nowhere near the back of the glove box lid. The timber glove box lid is thicker than the metal lid so is there another bracket for metal lids? Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hi Phil, the Moss WebCat show that same 'U' bracket for both doors. I'll TRy and get out and look at mine to see the difference. Give me an hour.

Phil Yes they are different, they come as a unit lock and bracket items 25 and 26 https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr2-4a/interior/dashboards-consoles/dashboard-tr4-4a-1961-67.html Stuart.

RogerH Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Hi Phil here are pics of my 4 & 4A. Stuart is correct - the TR4 bracket is deeper. Roger Edited January 23, 2021 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roy53 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 just doing the same. removed a wood dash and gone for the white painted look, but do not have or can not get the hinges for the metal door. Are the 4 and 4a backing metal dash different ? Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGB BME Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Thanks Stuart & Roger I’ll get the correct bracket. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I noticed that when fitting my then TR4 metal dash. It should be fairly simple to make one up if NLA. I do not like ashtrays so made up a stainless sheet which my mate engine turned and fitted a clock in its place. Don't know if the new owner will keep it but I always like to put a stamp on things I rebuild. Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGB BME Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi Harry Its the glove box hinges and lock bracket that we are looking at. Nice centre dash, believe the metal finish were the earlier 4’s then they went to Matt black finish Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I made it very simple my own because I did not know there is something missing / available to buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
