Glove Box Door Catch

[Jack Wheeler 0]

Looking for a glove box door catch for a 69 Mach1.  Apparently, the catches for the 65 and 66 are available new, but the catch for the 69 is no longer in production.  This is the little metal loop which attaches to the dash at the top of the glove box door, and the glove box door latch hooks into this catch when the glove box door is closed.  Unfortunately, mine fell out of the dash when I was moving it around, and I ran over it with my car.  Big mistake.  I hope somebo0dy can help me out.  Thanks.

Jack,

I have a few extra lower dashes (also if anyone is interested), and one isn't in very good shape.  I am sure the glove compartment catch is OK though, and I will take a look for you.

Thanks, Scott!

Scott.  I just happened to think, if you find a good glove box door catch, could you also send me the 2 screws that attach it to the dash?  Let me know what I owe you.  Thanks again.

Will do on the screws, and I’ll let you know for sure when I get home to look.

I was just able to check, and I've got one.  It's a little rusty, but it will clean up with a little TLC.  I have your address and will try to get it in the mail tomorrow.
