MGF?TF Cubby box

[stoneybroke]

I have long been an advocate of using the air bag blank hole as an additional source of storage on the MGF but have been frustrated by the lack of a quality after market product. I have asked the after market suppliers about adapting the Rover 25 cubby box but without success. I am aware that a few guys have successfully moulded a fibreglass box as a cubby box but here is a solution that might just appeal to most and in the “Blue Peter” tradition is easy to do, looks good and is very practical.

On visiting a breakers yard I discovered that the Toyota Starlet cubby box is the perfect dimension for conversion for a MGF/TF cubby box. (See photo for final details - I will post a photo later when I figure how to do it).

Instructions
1. Select a cubby box from a Toyota Starlet (it just pulls out of the dash)
2. Cut off the front moulding with a jig saw leaving just the moulded box.
3. Select an MGF air bag blanking plate – if don’t want to use your original one these too are available from many breakers yards for a couple of pounds
4. Scribe the cubby box on to the rear of the blanking plate.
5. Cut a hole into blanking plate about 5 mm inside the scribed line.
6. Measure the cubby box to ensure that it fits the void below the round bar located behind the blanking plate on the MGF and trim, if necessary, off the face edge.
7. Bond blanking plate to cubby box using araldite
8. Trim inside edge of blanking plate hole to cubby box to make neat edge
9. If necessary, paint cubby box with flexible vinyl paint (available from Halfords,
10. Re-fit cubby box to blanking plate aperture
11. Fit anti slip rubber mat, if necessary, to base of cubby box to stop stuff sliding about.
