Anyone with a square tissue dispenser able to measure it for me? I have an idea for a project and want to make something in a similar size. This one in particular- _________________ '67 Beetle L41

I don't have a square one but I have the one with an angled front face.
This style (not mine but same one):
I wonder if the only the removable face is different?
If it helps, the measurements of the part of it with the angled face plate removed are:
6 11/16" x 4 15/16" x 2"
6 11/16" includes the little lip that the face plate goes around
If it will help you to have photos or any other measurements of mine, let me know. _________________ How to Post Photos

Mine is the OG VW angled face and these are what fits : Kleenex JR. or Kleenex Little Travelers, Size : 8.5 x 6.2 inch
This size is no longer available but I purchased some Vintage one's available from eBay.
You may want to purchase what is available is New similar size and build to that measurement.

Thanks guys! My plan is not tissues rather, usb ports/ phone chargers. It'll look like an original accessory at a car show, but then I can plug the phone charger in and charge up. I find it interesting that the tissues are twice the size of the box, because I've seen a picture showing the whole set up and the box was noticeably smaller than the tissues themselves and they were the original ones.
Typ3nut could you post measurements of oyu angled unit? _________________ '67 Beetle L41

It's crazy 'cause there's no way it's 6" wide. _________________ '67 Beetle L41

Right so then the tissues would be 8" wide. What are you supposed to do, cut them in half _________________ '67 Beetle L41

So the tissues are 8x6. The box itself is only 4x6. So the tissues would need to be folded in half to fit in the box. _________________ '67 Beetle L41
