If you're one of the 3 people left on Earth with a ThinkPad 500 from 1993 (my condolences), and the case plastics have broken due to the left screen hinge clutch, this part is for you. It straddles the hinge and serves as replacement walls for it to push against when opening or closing the display. No glue required, beyond any case repairs you need to make – this bracket friction-fits in the bottom panel as shown in the photo.
