Rick,

Not at that price. $389.95. But others here might be. I'm sure someone restoring an original would not hesitate though. If stuff like that sells for that price parting out an old Austin-Healey can be quite lucrative. I have checked Moss Motors and others but it is no longer available, as has been mentioned.

I'm not as concerned about the lock as I am the general look of the glove box itself. I'll come up with something similar.

Thanks for the input, George

That latch was about $200 when I built my car so for about $10 in materials plus chroming I had one that was very close.
