'92-96 Dash Switch Repair

It's becoming more common for the F-series tank switch or Bronco rear window switch to break loose from the back of the cluster bezel, and repairing the screw holes on the bezel is nearly impossible. This makes more sense to me, anyay - I don't know why Ford didn't do this to begin with, and the same for the diesel warning lights, and the ESOF switch on the other side of the column.

This is a scrap of VERY light-gauge galvanized steel cut & folded to hold the switch in-position. Of course the remains of the screw holes on the back of the bezel had to be broken away to make room for these screw heads, and it took some effort & several attempts to get it to fit tightly. But the guy who bought the truck gave it to his teenage son, and although he calls me frequently about his '75 Bronco, he has never mentioned a problem with this switch.
