Brief Description:  1: Instrument Panel Map Box

I spent some time today trying to work out how I can make a flush fitting door on the map box. The standard kit includes a neat, but nonetheless agricultural, door and hinge arrangement and I think I can do better. Just gotta work out how.

Anyway, the couple pictures below show my thoughts on how to make a recessed flange for the door to close against. Finding a suitable hinge is going to be the hard part. I also want a better latch than the quarter turn camlock thing supplied by Vans.

Another idea I've had here is fitting a blue LED light inside the map box, with a small micro switch to turn it off when closed. I can see I'm going to spend a lot of time on this.
