Need latch on center arm rest/console

[soduka]

I broke the peg/tooth that's mounted to the top of the center console that keeps it latched and closed. Does anyone happen to have one out of a junk car they have no use for?

This part?

I have shipped a few of these before, and that full cover. There is a 93 in the yard right now, I don't remember anything about the console.

Yeah, that's the tooth. After the 1500th time of slightly brushing up against the button getting into the car and it popping open I slammed it shut and it wasn't lined up and snapped the tooth. What a stupid place for that button. Ford must have realized it too since Gen 2's moved the button.

Mechanically it looks solid, it is turning white from the desert sun where it was exposed. Seems okay, the actual lid was broken into a million pieces above it so I couldn't tell how well it latched, but pivot point, place where it slides, and the pin itself are solid. Oddly enough the console was tan, looks like they tried to fix it with the latch when it was really the lid that was busted.

Shoot me a PM with your address and the best way to mail it out to you. I haven't mailed anything like this alone, I did do one that I put in a toilet paper tube and foam wrap and an envelope, but I might have just gotten lucky.

Boxed up and sent, will PM you with the tracking number. No judgement on the packaging please, I will never work at Mailboxes ETC.

Ford STILL sells the latch! just FYI

It is a discontinued part and while there might be some in the pipeline, and a few for 20+ bucks on eBay, I think I have their prices beat. I grabbed the engineering number off the part, found the engineering number for the one that superseded it, just to check for prices. If someone was doing a serious restoration I wouldn't have offered the one I mailed them.
