The Moss Motors glovebox knob/lock is an exact copy of the 289 Cobra item.
It was also used on the Austin Healy 3000 and the Nash Metropolitan as well as,
I believe, the Jensen Healy and the Aston Martin. It was not a very well made
item due to pot metal internals. The Moss piece doesn't fit on most replicas as
the glovebox doors are too thick. They are fairly expensive but if you don't
mind spending $160+ you can cut one apart and drill and tap the knob from
the back so you can mount it just like the kitchen knob you have now. I
bought one of the replica knobs from Cobra Restorers for $100 hoping it was
a nine chromed brass casting but it was just an aluminum turning so I sent it
back. I was lucky to find an original, but broken knob/lock and I cut it up to
make a "knob" that looks perfect. I don't care that it won't lock...I just use the
trunk!
