Can anybody recommend an adhesive for attaching the brackets for the light switches to the radio panel.

If you are taking about an early chim radio panel with the three lighting push buttons on the RHS, then I used heavy duty double sided carpet tape.

If both surfaces are clean and you apply some pressure it makes an instant strong bond. I carefully and lightly pressed the bracket/tape/panel together in a vice (protecting the veneer of course).

I used 2 part epoxy resin (mix together) on mine . Poundland stuff over 18 months ago & still holding, mind you, I rarely drive the Chimaera in the dark!

The tricky bit I found was gluing in the brackets just high enough for the switch panel to be a tight fit (so it doesn't rattle) but not too tight to risk prising the glue off again when you refit the light panel and buttons.
