CMC Speedster Dash Question

I recently picked up an unfinished early 90’s CMC Speedster-C widebody on a ‘69 bus chassis (with the entire interior etc., in sealed original bags and boxes). One problem I am facing as I assemble it is that the fiberglass of the dash is so thick that I am unable to get my VW switches (designed for sheet metal mounting) to fit. So stock VW hazard switch, wiper switch, and headlight switch don’t have long enough threads to span that thick fiberglass. What have members of this group done about this? Do I really have to grind down the back of the dash to thin it out? Thanks in advance for your help. -Mitch
