I installed the glove box today that had been removed by the previous owner. The bag of parts that contained the mounting bolts and pins to attach the glove box support also included this part. Does anyone recognize it, and if so what is it for?

Thanks!

Looks very similar to the retainer pins on the throttle linkage of my E-type. A managerie of rods and joints moving across the firewall to the 3 SU carbs.... Did the seller have any jags?
 
Definitly not glovebox, at least not like mine or any other glovebox I have seen.

I also cannot see where it could have been used; so I don't think it is e9.

Does the clamp bend and lock around the axle, as soo to lock something in place on the axle? Similar function exists in the gas pedal to carb linkage i have, but with completely different parts.

Agree it is not part of the glove box, way too large a component. The clamp is a fixed component of the pin, it does not articulate or have further movement. I am at a loss, but after the comments here I am more confident that it is not an e9 part. It will go into the spare bolts bucket!
 
I'll take a guess. It reminds me of the holder for the festoon bulb behind the back of the glovebox. The bulb is secured in contacts at an angle that looks just like this piece. Only this is the part that fixes to the glove box back wall. There is another part, a brass contact, that completes this bulb holder. Mike
 
I was able to install the glove box this weekend, and it is definitely not a glove box component. Light is installed (switch for the light…still pending).

Agree I should have put a coin or pack of matches for size comparison.
 
This was mentioned before....

... it could be a lock pin for the shaft or gearshift axle/mechanism. It looks like the shaft is coming into a pipe and the wings are holding onto external diameter of it (the pipe).
 
The user places a finger in the bracket, the pinky finger, to dramatize how easy the operation is. Then slides
the cylinder into a square peg. The wear pattern in the bottom of the round cylinder proves that it fits.
