MG TD TF 1500 - Glovebox door stay

I have just fitted a glovebox stainless steel door stay. It is very much similar to the ones fitted to Morris Minors but will not rust. I think they look quite nice. I just have to fit different screws as I only had the square drive screws at hand.

Declan;
What is the source of the "stay"?
There was one from a Jag posted but I need a more available source.

Jim,
It's from a Triumph Stag. I discovered it on Fleabay just by chance.

Jim,
I did fit a 2mm spacer on mine to get it to align and a slight bend to stop it fouling on the liner when closing. Test fit with double sided tape before drilling.

I assume the spacer is between the bracket fixing plate and the wall of the glove box?

Correct-you might not need it as I'm sure these gloveboxes varied from car to car.
