**help!**Gauge cluster hood plastic broken!
Hey guys, naturally as the car is 28 years old, the plastics are brittle. I noticed the tan plastic that the gauge cluster hood mounts onto and screws into is pretty badly damaged from the previous owner having took it off in the past. I am attempting to re attach the gauge cluster hood back onto the car, but since that tan plastic is broken fairly badly, there's no holes to screw the cluster hood onto anything. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get this cluster hood to stay secured to the dashboard?

Zip ties depending on where it's broken. Luckily my top three screws are intact. Where the bottom two go are broken. I used zip ties to secure the base of the cluster surround.

If any of the screw post remains, you can get something like those motherboard standoff's to extend the screw post. They sell varying sizes standoff's at McMaster I believe.

acrylic cement works really well. in extreme cases you might get a piece of scrap acrylic and make tabs for the meter hood to attach
