The "dash" is loose? Really? What part lol

If the dash is loose you might have a serious problem. Apparently, when VN's were put together, the dash was 'fused' into the bodywork and became an integral part of the structure. If the dash is loose - as you claim - it's possible that the front end of your car could seperate. Get it checked by a good mechanic.

lol i think he just means the surround for his gauges where the hazard lights and wiper controls sit on.

Go down to a wreakers (which are made of VN-VP commodores) and look for some sturdy dash boards and take the screws that fit them and it should be fine.

the bit under the dash the fuse cover panel is held on by 2 plastic screws - about 76cents each

the bit above the steering wheel the dash cluster bit is held on by 4 mushroom head screws - can get them almost anywhere - either do em up if they are there are buy some new ones and do em up

The old loose dash cluster surround as a result of sticky a fuel gauge and a slap happy previous owner story eh? You'd be surprised what you can fix with speed-nuts and a few screws...
