Part identification help
Took the dash and glove box apart in our '73 Fire Am to diagnose a nasty rattle. Found the fastener that attaches the rear of the heater control assy to the support bracket below was missing. Easy repair. Upon re-installation of everything I found a part I could not identify near where I had laid the glove box and door. Can anyone identify this part and where it belongs?
THANK YOU! The Old Guy |

Have never seen a part like that related to the dash components or glove box, so I got nothing. Maybe its a custom part related to the fire am or other mods the car has? Hope you can identify it.

I performed the Herb Adams Fire Am upgrade myself, in 1978, and it's not related to that.
Thanks though! |

Or a triangle type 'nut' for a bolt? Actually looks familiar but for what, CRS?

Looks like it may be a corner reinforcement that fits over a fiber or cardboard piece that would help keep the corresponding hole from tearing out under stress.

I have a mild case of CRS too but have torn apart & reassembled enough of these cars recently that i dont recognize that as anything for a 2nd gen, especially glove box or dash related.

Looks to me like one of the grab bar mounts have broken off.

He asked. I gave an answer. Take a picture and prove me wrong. I'll provide one after getting back from camping.

OK, and I replied to your answer, wasnt trying to prove you wrong or anything...
the grab handle mounts as mentioned, the screws go in sideways, one on each end using a speed clip for threads on a thin piece of the dash plastic. the screw doesnt go into the threaded hole on that triangle piece is all i was saying. you can kind of see it here if zoomed in, if you need a pic there are others on google or i can get a pic of a dash I have. https://firebirdtransamparts.com/tec...ness/dash3.jpg |

OK. It wasn't the grab bar mount. Just a little lower.
