Centre Console Lid Bracket

[ethand]

Hi guys,
My centre console lid thingie is missing its bracket that holds it in place (from when I bought it). I couldnt find anything on this topic in the search, so thought I'd see if anyone knows what it looks like & where I might get one. Does anyone know if its the same as any other cars, maybe mazda/fords from the same time?
I have a '92 JDM Eunos Presso, if that changes anything...
This is the compartment I'm talking about:


And this is where the bracket thingie bolts in:


Thanks in advance for your help!!

I haven't been able to find it yet. Been looking for a little while and I am giving up. Do what I am going to do...use magnets! Otherwise, if you're hard set on getting that little connector, post it up in the Items for Sale/Trade forums and see if you get any bites there.

oh ya... I don't know why I posted it here instead of the WTB section!! I guess I was hoping to get someone say 'oh yeah, you can find a near-identical one from ....hardware stores called....' but that never happened haha
Also its good to know that I'm not the only one with a problem with it!

Yea, mine busted the first week I had the car. Haha! Nothing some superglue and a curiously strong magnet cant fix!

haha sweet... mine came with this missing! I didnt think to check for things like this when I test-drove it haha...
so are the magnets strong enough to support it with drinks in the drink holders, or not??

With two of these, you should have 8-10Lbs of pull force combined. So put two on either side. and you should have enough combined pull force to hold some drinks.

if it's any comfort to you, the latch isn't so hot anyway. i've had it pop up and my drinks take a dump on the backseat. i never use the lid to hold my drinks. actually, the front ones in the deck itself aren't that great either.

haha ok, good to know haha
Mine doesnt have them in the actual dash bit - jap-spec pressos have a different dash to the US models...
