itd be good to save ungodly amount of frustration to tack couple nuts on the bracket, if u got a tig welder.
i felt so good putting it back together i even put the "those original screws" back in.
thx.

Great idea! I wonder if rivet nuts would work also?

Thanks!

If the rivnuts extrude below that bracket, it would raise the key switch above the center of the hole in the dash.
