My Viking has a rotating tab on the lock cylinder that goes up inside the glove box - no tab on the box itself. Of course, that doesn't mean that mine didn't have a tab like yours, that broke off. Mine may not be correct. _________________ Chris 1956 Commander 520 1956 Viking '55 Johnson 10,'57 Johnson 18,'55 Johnson 25 1958 Evinrude Lark 35 http://www.retrocrestliner.com/viewerphotospage53.htm http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p156/7car7/Aluminum%20Runabouts/My%20Boats/ Back to top Chris Joined: 15 May 2004 Posts: 270 Location: North West Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 10:08 am    Post subject: If you look at the picture posted by Dgrin 56Vik, it appears that his has the tab sticking down also, maybe yours and his are original. I will tell ya though, you'll scrape your hand on that tab if it's sharp when sticking your hand in there. http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Dgrin56Vik/56CrestlinerViking-1.jpg?t=1283614387 _________________ Chris 1956 Commander 520 1956 Viking '55 Johnson 10,'57 Johnson 18,'55 Johnson 25 1958 Evinrude Lark 35 http://www.retrocrestliner.com/viewerphotospage53.htm http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p156/7car7/Aluminum%20Runabouts/My%20Boats/ Back to top Dgrin 56Vik Joined: 23 Aug 2010 Posts: 5 Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2010 8:54 pm    Post subject: I just rechecked my glove box and dash, my door is rectangle and home made. The tab hanging down is a clasp like on an old cupboard door. Bummer. I guess I'll be looking for a glove box door. I'll probably be using my poor dash for a templet.
