Extra storage space is quite useful in a hovercraft; many of our customers order as many as four glove boxes.

Molded with high impact plastic, the Neoteric glove box dimensions are …

  • Door: 13 7/8 inch (352 mm) long x 5 5/16 inch (135 mm) high
  • Box: 11 7/8 inch (302 mm) long x 4 3/8 inch (111 mm) high x 6 3/4 inch (171 mm) deep
  • Installation hole: 12 1/8 inch (308 mm) long x 4 5/8 (117 mm) high
