Help Identifying Fj40 bracket (1 Viewer)

[fflood]

I'm hoping someone can help me identify this part from an FJ40. I feel like a fool as I just can't figure out what it is. It appears to be a cadmium plated bracket of some kind. I just can't place where it belongs. Thanks in advance.

Fuel door latch.

The small hole on the 'ear' of that bracket had a small rubber cushion in it to keep the door from rattling.
