Are glove box hinges an "orderable" part?

I don't mean to be lazy and ask this question, but Joe isn't open yet.

This is for the 90Q.

Unfortunately you'll need to order the entire glove compartment. There was only one Q in Columbia's junk yards that had the compartment intact, but it was a garnet color Q, and I think the dash was color keyed - so it was probably a 92-93.

thanks, Heath.... I have one broken one...and one good one...broke it when I tried to force it open. Got smart and got a junked latch (that was the real problem). Had to hack saw the catch to open the box and put in the newer latch.

The problem with junk yard hinge is that they are old and plastic gets brittle.
