Panel 100 (Fig. 3) has an integrally moulded mounting 102 for securing an article 1 to the panel. Mounting 102 comprises a pair of spaced mounting members 104, 106 for engagement with the article. At least one of the mounting members 106 applies a resilient biasing force to article 1 so as to hold the article in engagement with other mounting member 104. One of the mounting members 104 may be a generally hook-shaped detent for engagement in an aperture 12 in the article and the other may be a resilient arm for engagement in a further aperture 12'. The mounting may be configured such that the article can only be secured to the panel in a single orientation ("poka-yoke" or mistake-proof assembly). The mounting may also be configured to secure the article to the panel with a "snap" fit. Application may be vehicle dash panel.
