Default 1971 Part Identification Help

I have another part I need help in identifying, it was in a bag labeled gauges and I can’t figure out where it goes. On one end it has what looks like two rivets broke off. Can’t find it in the 1971 AIM. Any ideas? Thanks

That looks like the piece that rivets to the floor pan at the back of and just outside the rear seat/s. A clip lives in the elongated hole, and the bottom of the interior rear quarter-panel fiberglass has a hole in the bottom of it. That screws attaches the interior quarter panel bottom to that bracket. .Dont think there is anything gauges-related to it.

Thanks guys, you nailed it. There is one on the passenger side and missing this one on the driver side. 👍👍
