OK, searched.... and my list of jobs is building up!

The lower dash is coming adrift - what do people use to stick their replacement dashes on with please?

Thanks all

Mine had once been fixed on with four screws into the 'reveals'(as in window reveals) at either side of the radio aperture. But the 'reveal' had broken on both sides and a PO had put two small pieces of wood in place to sandwich what remained of the reveal between the screw and the wooden block. The facial isn't glued to the panel and IIRC there isn't a lot to glue to. I'd take a look at the radio aperture and fabricate some fixing there. Who knows - you may want to take it off again at some time!

Hmmm... bugger. Anyone else? It seems to me that mine was glued, but I could be wrong.

my old chim had 2 metal brackets stuck to the back of the dash place with what looked like body filler. Once I removed to replace with ally dash I just used araldite and it worked well.

make sure you rough up the bracket and the surface on the back of the panel to give it a key otherwise it can pop straight off.
