Cluster bezel tabs broken off
 
So I just picked up my first RX7 FC. The tabs that hold the plastic dash bezel are snapped off. Is there a fix for this or do I have to swap in a dash that has the tabs and such?

Take a inch wide metal strip,drill a screw hole into it and either start s mall hole with a drill bit or use s self tapping screw and screw it to the inside of the dash.
you have to make sure that the strip will stick out enough to go into the surround but not make the surround stick out,so cut carefully.
you can usually "over measure" as the strip can hit the inside..you got some room for playing around with the size of the "new tab strip".
then put your gauge surround back on and drill into the screw holes to make a hole in the metal "tabs"..
put screw in and done.

I figured it was going to be something like that :)

Thank you!
