A little assistance needed please chaps!

I thought I would remove the binnacle cowl to re-glue some parting leather trim. However in doing so, I have managed to bork a couple of other bits!

Firstly, I have found that the mounting bolts for the PCB behind the dash have detached from the dash itself. I have all the pieces, but would like to know the best glue to re-fix them. The original stuff seems like fibreglass resin or something. Any thoughts?

Secondly, the loose PCB has broken the MIL light led, so I need to replace and re-solder. Can anyone give me the spec of the bulb, and are there any significant risks in re-soldering?

Finally, since it's going to take ma a while to sort all this, I may as well finally put LED bulbs in, so can anyone point out how to get to the bulbs in the steering wheel pod, please?

Thanks to all in advance!

araldite should work, but given the smoothness of the backing of the dash might not, unless you can give it a nice rough key.

There was a thread on here about the bulbs, you can get to them easily enough.

Thanks, Peter. I've now used Araldite on the dash, which I hope will cure properly.

I've also looked at the Cerb manual which says to just reach under the pod after disconnecting the heater hose, so that's that one cracked.

The one I'm still struggling with is the spec for the LED's soldered in to the dash PCB, if anyone knows? In this case, I have broken the MIL light one...
