are the gauges themselves falling out? or the whole panel? if it's the gauges themselves, you should be able to use that metal bracket that should've come with the gauges. if it's the panel....uh, i dunno.

If its the whole panel that falls out. you could make it this way with bolt holes.
I made it out of 6mm polycarbonate (lexan) and it replaces the entire radio-surround.
Later i redid it and made the gauges sit on top of the cd player, for easier reading the gauges.

Sure, I make them. I sell them for $53 each shipped and you can get them in 3 different styles.

-one like the one pictured
-one with only 2 gauge holes
-one with 3 gauges on the top.

The problem with that design is that it puts all the weight on the cheap plastic fragile dash Bezel/panel, rather than on the dash frame/support, like this one does:


You can mount onto the dash bezel, but it will crack and fall apart eventually. You are much better making a trim ring that does not support anything if you go to the "mount on the bezel" route.
