Default Instrument cluster repair help

What's the best way to glue down these copper strips on the instrument cluster connections? I've got a couple that have peeled off

I don't know but if it were me I'd first try to gently flatten any bent leads and then try a gel based super glue. After it dries I would go over it with some emery cloth to ensure no glue residue remained on the conductive face of the leads. Hopefully one of the professional spark chasers will chime in.

One other more permanent solution is that Roger now sells fully modern replacements for these. No longer fragile foil. Not sure of the cost however. But if you cannot fix it, at least you know you can replace it with something better than the original.

I was afraid of glue messing up the contact surface so I'm trying basically double sided tape. I'll look into the replacement. I wonder if it's possible to just lose the 80s circuit board and power all the gauges/lightslight good ol fashioned wires
