Very informative thread!. I just finished fixing the hinge on my 69 GTO glove box door. I did basically the same thing that you did. I don't have a drill press or a rivet gun. I hand drilled and tapped holes for 6/32 screws. These worked out very well and were easy enough to do with the tools I had on hand. I put a light coat of Rustoleum flat black on the hinge. I used the 12 inch hinge as well. Its hardly noticeable. Very sturdy repair. The key is to get the hinge as close to the factory hinge seam as possible. Very handy advice as the ONLY glove box door I could find was for $250. Thanks again, Ken
