Default Headlight switch mounts broken

I replaced my broken headlight switch because it was loose and seemed to have a short. I noticed the mounts were broken that is why it was loose. I was wondering if anyone has ever repaired them and how did you do it?
Does anyone know what the screw holders' are called for this type of set up?

I was thinking about going to an auto wrecking yard and trying to find a truck (same) that i could cut a piece of the mounts out and have to epoxy them to mine and create a new mount.

Thank you very much.

Abel

Funny I just replaced the switch in a 2000 but I don't remember a thing about it. Does it use coarse thread plastiscrews?

I've always thought
a member's truck info should be a required field in their profile for enrollment here. That's why I put all of mine where it is; might as well, usually need it to get any reasonable responses. No unnecessary posts "what truck?"
Oh no! None of it shows under my pic in a post like it used to. Hmmm.....

I wish folks would put their truck info in their sig. That makes it really easy.

Try to find all the broken plastic pieces, if possible. Or, like you stated a visit to the local boneyard and grab what ya can. Get some quick setting epoxy and have at it...like we all have done. I did my light switch mount last year, right after I replaced my disgusting ugly resemblance of what used to be a dashboard. LMC thank you..
