I've always replaced the whole works together. I don't trust myself
to duplicate the OG rivet job AND get everything in the exact right
position.
NOTE: Once the assembly is in place, you MUST install the final screw
that ties the lever base to the dash. This screw is often left out,
and that's why the cardboard glove box breaks. It's not strong enough
to take that stress by itself. Passing that force on to the steel
dash makes all the difference in the world. Don't skip this step.
