Light looks like a cavalier item to me,the glovebox catch's are on ebay at times,i got three sometime last year and have only used one so far,if you get stuck i might have a spare.

I'd replace the fragile black plasic glovebox catch as they break as soon as look at you. Go for one of the loft catches.

Cheers guys,looks like plenty of choice on the interior light thenhehe perhaps it might be best from a tvr scrappie after all.I wanted to fit a passenger footwell light and in my last griff it was mounted under the dash and was the same as the main interior one.
How is the plastic tvr glovebox latch attatched to the glovebox lid itself? surely its not just using the sticky pad? I realise the main bit in the dash clips through a hole,but cant remember how the other bit was secured on my last car.

Don`t know if this helps much. Looks like the adhesive pad is retained , the male part of the catch drilled and what appears to be a rivet is used to secure.
