Default 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.
