Glove box magnetic catch

I've just replaced my ineffective original plastic bodied magnetic catch with this metal bodied one from Screwfix

It is surprisingly suitable - the fixing holes are identical, and it looks the part. It doesn't project quite far enough to grab the existing strike plate on the lid, but it's a simple job to remove the existing rivets and rivet in the plate supplied with the catch. which does have a projecting plate. It holds the lid much more firmly than the original!
