Need the latch part that bolt to handle screws on back of glovey door. I believe its just an "L" shaped spring steel piece. Any help appreciated. Thanks. 507-381-1916
 
I believe the 35 locking glove box handle looks like this on the inside.

Hey I will take a look today but I think thats my baby. I thought it went on door but its in dash. Thanks Thanks This place is great!!!
 
bttt
Now we know it goes on dash not door ,look at last pic, I believe it is T shaped and held in by two little screws--anyone got one laying around?
 
Are you sure thats not a magnate of some sort. What would it catch on if not and hold the door closed??? ken ct.
 
35-36 glove box doors are held shut by a 1/2 round spring that clips on the door bottom lip and hinge bar except if you have the accessory locking handle.Mac's I believe carries them(the spring clip)2 required.
 
Mine has a cut out in the roll over section of the glove box door skin that this tab catches into, unfortunatly missing the tab piece.
 
I think closed cars have a diff setup ??? ken ct. i have a 36 with the 1/2 moon clips but has a lock on it too. 5 W/coupe
 
Deuce lover is correct, except that on a phaeton/roadster glove box door there was only one spring used, centered on the hinge. Unless the car is equipped with the optional at extra cost lock (it became standard equipment during the 1936 model year), that single spring is all there was to hold the glove box door in a closed position. If your car lacks a large hole between the two screw heads shown in Don's photo, it was not equipped with a lock and all you need is one of the 'C'-shaped springs. At least that has been my experience with six '35-'36 phaetons and roadsters.
