My radio mounting holes on my 70-72 SS dash (dont know which)are broke out, is there anything I can do to fix it without having to get a whole new dash?

I'm not familiar with the 70-72 dash, I have a 68. I assume we're talking plastic here.Do you have the missing pieces, if so, you can "weld" them back in by melting the plastic together on the backside using a soldering iron or I use a small butane torch with soldering attachment. If the pieces are missing, sometimes you can fabricate the missing pieces from scrap plastic and use them. After welding the plastic together, I have even reinforced the backside (if there's enough space) with fiberglass.
Good luck

Someone sells replacement towers to restore radio holes that have been butchered but I can't remember where I saw them at the moment.
