Photo of glove box latch - Needed - 72 Pre-L | The De Tomaso Forums

stevebuchananMember

A previous owner installed a stereo in the dash above the glove box. It was not a very elegant endeavor and they mangled the sheetmetal backing in the dash in the glove box area. The latch for the glove box knob is MIA. Can one of you take a photo of your latch so that I can fabricate a replacement. It's the latch that the knob below goes into. The car is a 72 Pre-L. Thank you.

Steve - here are 2 photos from my ´72 Pre-L where you can see how the latch is installed / riveted.
