I am missing something here. The first picture is the glove box insert. What is the second picture?

The 2nd pic is the insert installed into the dash radio opening.

Took me a minute to figure it out. Believe it's a small storage box.

Sorry, not actually the glove box insert, but a recessed insert to put in place of the radio.

Kind of like the cubby in the dash of my Ferd. A place to put little bits that you might never need. wink

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

So is there a source for that little gizmo, or is it a one-off that someone made?

It was for sale on Facebook ,but don’t see it anymore .looks like a 3 d printer job to make the attachment we’re the radio knobs are but other than that a plastic box..It would be nicer if it had a door that closed up to look like the delete plate .
