Does anyone know of a supplier where I can obtain suitable glove box hinges for a walnut dash on a 2010 car. Mine has only covered under 8000 miles and the hinges have basically disintegrated so its certainly not from over use!

Thanks, Brownbaker they are not the ones unfortunately and John they are not piano hinges. they are basically butt hinges 25mm long by 19mm wide with 2 screw holes per leaf, so 4 screws per hinge. brass chrome plated. so far the closest is,...... believe it or not -screwfix. yes they're plain brass but that doesn't worry me too much, might have to reposition the holes as the MMC option seems to be closer to the ends of the hinge but they do look like they came out of a lucky bag and might have been stronger had they been made of shiny plastic! I will pick a set up as soon as I can visit the nearest screwfix! After all ,I think here I just might have to adopt the "They're going to fit" option.

Well I finally found a good replacement set. Those 1854sailor found were exact but they wouldn't ship from the USA. I finally got a set that were a perfect replacement fit. size and hole alignment and, they are way superior quality than the original fitment. Yes they are not finished in chrome but brass is OK! and quite honestly they actually disappear rather than shining out at you, so I'm kind of liking them now. They were from a seller named (agtrading12) on eBay so if anyone else needs them that's a source.
I have bought a few and most were not a match but these were perfect. Most failed on hole matching and/or material thickness but these were spot on in fit and function just better made and certainly more robust. I had tried several Morgan options including the works but as yet I have had no responses.
