Locking Dash
I have the standard ERA dash with no lock. Has anyone retrofitted a lock on your ERA? If so, where did you get the lock?

He probably means the glove box.

Yes, I mean glove box. Price looks steep, but that looks like what I need.
What am I trying to lock? Radar detector, phone, little things I don't want to carry.

locking dash
The glove box lock from A.H. Spares LTD does not fit a Superformance Mark III. The glove box door is too thick for the lock.If anyone is looking for one contact me. 25% off list.

Phil,
You may have found what you're looking for, and this center console might not work for you as it's designed for Superformance cars. I installed one and use it a lot more than my locking glovebox plus it's a nice arm rest for longer cruises. It does have a lock, so some level of security, although it probably won't stand up to someone who really wants to get in. There are a couple of threads on the Conra Club if you want more information.

Locking Dash
The barrel that goes through the dash is a little under 1/2 inch. You would have the same problem I do.

The back side could be counter-bored, but that may be something owners are loathe to do.

Locking dash
That wont work. The total length of the lock from the flat that sit against the front of the glove box to the latch is 11/16 of an inch.

I had to enlarge the hole, but that was not a big deal. I simply removed the old puller and locking mechanism, was careful with the leather and drilled the whole through the wood and put the lock on. It works great! Let me know if you need more pics.

More pics would be great Phil. Maybe with the back side and where it latches. Does the lock actually hold the door closed now or can you retain the dohicky that keeps it closed? How do you open it without the pull?
My pull is located about 1 1/4" from the hard edge. I measured this on the backside of the door. Is this the standard location for this knob?
Thanks

Pics below. The door itself holds it closed on mine as its a tight fit. I only lock it when I leave something valuable in it. Usually I can grab the edge of the door leather part and it pulls open. I had to slightly bend the locking bar as you can see in the picture to make it work. It was not a big deal. I think the pull knobs are in the same place. Send of pick of the knob location, but I am pretty sure the sea dog lock will work.
