One thing as always with the TVR is the fit is not consistent. I tried this design in my dash aperture which was okay. On another car , slightly out. Looks as though the plate would need slots machining into it to accomodate misalignment. I wouldnt mind manufacturing these items, but it would be on the pretense that a modicum of fettling would be needed by the owner. Would that be a potential issue ? Let me know..........

Just in case it helps anyone I reversed the springs on my glove box lid last weekend. It wasn't fitting flush and would lift occasionally but a 15 min job and it now fits perfectly and holds shut. It needs to be held open now if you want to use it but I much prefer it and a great simple fix.
Bit of an update fellas......
I have ditched the original lid and replaced it with a new one. The original is resin moulded and seems to be a weak point( it was all cracked and broken into pieces ). I have carefully removed the covering from the old lid. But I coudnt remove the thin foam. This is now on order.
With the demand potentially growing for these, I am in the process of getting quotes for laser cutting the stainless components that make up the hinge mech. It could be the potential that I may supply the hinge along with a new lid. So all you would have to do is fit it to your inner pocket, then to the dash. Along with applying the new foam after adjustment, then the original vinyl or leather to finish? Who would potentially be up for this ? I suppose start a list for just hinge or complete assembly?
In the meantime I will try to get costs together and go from there Cheers.
