So after hunting around, I settled on using ABS/acetone mix to repair the broken console tabs.
Lonestarbullitt used ABS/acetone on his dash panels in his project thread and it looked promising.
First I cleaned the “fuzz” off the area around the broken tabs
Then I used cardboard to mock up the patch piece, making large tabs on two sides of the patch to give it strength
I cut the patch piece out of 1/16 ABS sheet and scored/bent the tabs
Then I cut a second piece of ABS sheet to glue onto the front of the patch panel, giving it a second layer for strength and also making it flush with the front of the console
Finally I used ABS/acetone mixture of 12 grams ABS to 50 cc acetone. I cleaned all the surfaces with pure acetone and then liberally applied my “glue” mixture
Repeat two more times and let it cure overnight, then locate and drill the holes for the bezel posts. The patched tabs seem to have a lot of strength.
Finally, reassemble and test fit. I had to make a couple of adjustments to the holes and tabs with my dremel, but nothing major. I’m really happy with the results.
