Dash Mounts

[Cincinnati Guy]

My dash on the passenger side is loose, I do know one of the mounts on the bottom next to the A pillar is broken (Stupid Plastic) Where else do they mount up? I really couldn't see much just by looking under the dash except for the broken mount.

common problem, ford has a repair kit for it, PIA to install, I have epoxied a few back together.
the mount attaches at the bottom , behind the kickpanel, close to the door jamb

Where can I get this part? Would it be easier to fab up my own mount?

I had the same problem, if I understand you correctly. I fabbed a piece, actually found a bookcase "L" bracket, to fix the problem. I had a 'spare' sitting in the miscellaneous parts bin in the garage. You can almost begin to see it in the link to the photo below.
