Glovebox Flocking

PostPost by: Gazzerb » Mon May 15, 2023 1:36 pm

Recently had my glovebox flocked internally and being delighted with the work, thought it was worth posting.
This was a replacement box made from black millboard and didn't look very pretty or original and would have been quite noisy too.
The work was done at Banbury Flocking Services located in Brackley with quick turnaround & reasonable price. (https://www.banburyflockingservices.com).
Speak to Nikki who is very helpful & knowledgeable.
No relation to this company just a happy customer.

It looks very professional. Good idea!

Looks terrific. Can you share any info about cost?

Just to clarify that the original Plus 2 glovebox was flocked, but its general condition was too poor to be reused.

The cost for this was £40 which I consider reasonable once Nikki explains the process in detail.

Just refurbished my glovebox using self adhesive A4 size black felt from Amazon. It’s a little tricky as it’s too small for both hands and it’s black cats in coal hole stuff, but the results are excellent.

The light did not work as the wiring had been disconnected and the board had failed beneath the switch. Now repaired but the wiring is a mystery. I’m assuming that a ring type connector fits under the switch nut?
