Glovebox latch
Hello everyone. I recently purchased a '92 240 and started restoring the interior. After taking the glovebox out to fix a problem with one of the rails I noticed that whoever owned it before me had replaced the latch striker with some random piece of hardware and attached it with a couple of wood screws. I want to put a proper one in but I can't seem to find a photo of what it looks like or what part number if might actually be. Can anyone snap a photo of theirs and, if you happen to know it, give me the part number? That might make it a little easier tracking one down.
Thanks

unfortunately part 43b is not the striker. the 'striker' is an integral part of the large glove box ie: plastic. the tab on part 41 clips up into it. not sure what part 43b does.. it is riveted to the glove box. maybe a stopper for the end of part 41? the plastic on the glove box on mine busted today. fixed with gorilla glue so unknown how long that will last.
if you take out the glove box it will be clear how the latch operates.
