Under-dash Fuse Cover Panel

[Jamison]

Greetings:

I'm from the USA. It is Thanksgiving holiday and I'm spending time with my beloved CS. Current restoration project - under dash region ; specifically the swinging door panel that covers fuse area.

I purchased my 1972 CS without the black door panel that covers the fusebox area . Left hand drive vehicle.

I was able to source a replacement part. Yet it is clearly missing some parts / key operational components!? Please see pictures

I'm reaching out to this group to perhaps:

1) source a better panel with proper hardware
2) source hardware in order to utilize the door panel that I've purchased
3) see pictures of other CS owner's fusebox door panel area so that I can see and understand how it attaches and operates mechanically
4) identify proper bolts (3) to secure this door panel to the bracket near firewall

Any guidance , parts,

and/or recommendations welcomed to complete this under-dash panel project.

Thanks to all .

No real help, but it appears you are missing the push button latch…no key or lock on that door

you are also missing the clear cover over the fuse box - it is available from Walloth + Nesch

Also appear to need the wire guide that limits the door travel.

Oil’s design (member here) has them.

It's a tight fit, you may have a problem operating the door with that non-stock bolt protruding on the left kick panel down there.
Someone may have installed that long threaded rod to hold a door closed at some point, won't be needed with new latch.

Here are some pictures of the area, was just putting it all back together today. I have upgraded my fusebox and the plastic cover keeps falling off so no need to tell me that part. I tried to take these from outside to in. picture 4 is the underside of the latch mechanism. The last picture shows the three bolts (the leftmost one is hidden a bit by carpet)
