Glove Box Question...
Does anyone know what the part is called that is attached to the dash panel and the glove box latch catches on to lock? (1978 Ann. Ed.)
I have looked through my Ecklers and C.A catalogs & can't figure it out. A place to buy it would also be appreciated.
Thanks

It's called the lock "catch." You can't find it new, because no one makes it new.
