Dash Problem
So I got a new gauge cluster and as I took my old cluster out I broke some of the screw holes in the dash. Any ideas how to fix this?

Re: Dash Problem
Use this stuff by the case at work, (public Transit) it holds up well over the years

Re: Dash Problem
(this is just one way, there are others)
 Repair the broken pieces, filling in the screw holes as you go. Return the next day & carefully drill undersize holes(shallow depth just to help the screws get started), if the originals are not self tapping screws then pick up some (same size / length) at your local parts store. Carefully install them, remember it’s only holding minimum torque. Tip: By waiting until the next day for the epoxy to cure, the screws should remain removable.... |

Re: Dash Problem
You may have to layer up the epoxy to get the hole deth you (might) need
