The Moss unit has a short tongue.
That is the fitment issue.
Was thinking of reproducing the right one. May have no pay back.

I thought it was something like that. Armorer made a new part of his SPF but I couldn't remember what part it was. Probably not enough market for production though.

Jeff, would this be a fix for it to use on a Cobra?

You are right on that! The market for "dead nuts on is small so don't plan on getting your investment back in any reasonable time period!

Ask me how I know..............

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!

Excellent yes Exact except for tongue length.
I have original and moss unit. Clear when you look them over side by side.

Larry. Will size up that eBay part thanks. Might just buy one and try.

Nice part.
I just do not need one and too steep for me for shelf item.
Great for someone that does.

Nice as it has a key with it! Steep price though.

AH Spares in England is the vendor for the Austin Healy glovebox lock that
you see on ebay or at Moss. It sells for about 100 pounds and is very accurate.
It only lacks the key code stampings that you find on the early lock faces
where you have 3 letters on one side of the key hole and several numbers on
the other side. If your glovebox door is the same thickness as an Austin
Healy it will fit...if not, get creative.

Again Kit, it's a short tongue and not exact.
The one on eBay is correct and the same as the one in my gold car.
The one in eBay now had longed tongue and exact.

Door is correct, geeze

Maybe the Cobra uses longer tongue than does a Healey.
That I do not know.

eBay part has longer tongue like Cobra latch.

I'm hoping the tongue on eBay is the long version as I ordered one a couple days ago. If not, I'll have yet another paper weight! (Have quite a few now!)

Sorry for the confusion. Although there appears to be more than one tongue
length, for me, the problem was that the ERA replica glove box door was too
thick to accomodate the "barrel length" of the AH Spares part. The tongue
was never an issue. I was really only interested in the chrome trim piece and
the lock face so I could make up an authentic looking "knob." All these details
are quite a struggle and sometimes the form suffices without the function.

Ah right KC.
Never had ERA but the original door thickness is thin.
Surprisingly thin. Guess we are on the same page now.

Larry, I too am overwhelmed with paperweights.
Hope we both got this one now.
