As said on the phone check for
good quality connections
any breaks in the wiring looms
good quality earth returns
Your running problems were traced to moving the loom that is near the break pedal. You could have a loom problem in this area.
I would doubt it is the dash panel itself but the wiring to/ from it.

A good starting point is always check all the frame earths, and when I say check I mean take them off and give them a good cleaning off to make sure there is good continuity across the connection. Don't forget the earths on top of the frame behind the cooling rad.

Check the big bunch of earths attached to that 'nut' behind the centre console bracket. It could be loose causing intermitent problems
