Dash cubby

[Van Bagley]

Does anyone make a decent replacement dash cubby?

The cubby can be purchased new sometimes but not the surround.

I have a couple of the new cubbys' and would be willing to sell one if you can't find one.

Classic Sunbeam has them listed for Wood dash and Plastic dash $26.

Thank you for this. I have one just like it. Were they originally made as poorly as the replacements black paper board and staples showing?

The originals were a flocked millboard with a special type of trim staple. The flocking covered the fixings.

The repro depedning on suplly can be a little rough and usually have exposed silver staples.. A black marker or some flocking can fix that

I have had early ones with brads probably brass. They sell a black paint Sharpie at Home Depot.

50 years ago, I made a plaster mold of my series I cubby box and then laid fiberglass over the mold, popped it off and then painted it.

My cubby in my SV is original and has no sign of ever having been flocked. It's simply black-faced cardboard.

The flocking didn't really last long, don't know why but I suspect it just wasn't glued down very well. Even back in the 70s with my first it was largely gone with leftover bits mostly in the corners where it didn't get as much rubbing from stuff put in the box.
