Chimera / Griff glove box latch replacement?

[94Griff500]

I think the glove box latch assy ( 2 pieces: male stud on the lid and a female catch on dash underside ) is the same for both Chimera & Griffin.
MY question is: Does anyone know where I can find a replacement latch assy ( both pieces ) to replace the broken one?

My glove box door will not stay latched in a closed position and hangs down.

Glovebox? I just have a flap!

Chimaera doesn't have a glove box...not sure about the Griffin

It's one of these on the Griffith:

The problem is that it drops through the aperture in the glass fibre moulding with wear.

I took mine to SSC in Brierley Hill, he fixed on a plate in 2023 to make it a better fit. Even when working, you must press gently to release ir close. A slam will break the latch.

I replaced mine with a simple slim magnetic catch plate.
Much more robust and works perfectly.
