    AT plastics and glue

    When my bike went over the plastics got damaged - the holes in the tank panels were broken and I can no longer fix the rubber collared nuts/bolts together.

    I can get a strip of plastic glued to the panel to re drill the holes but I am not sure which glue to use ...

    two part epoxy stuff?

    Fibre glass it?

    Something else?

    Cheers guys.
    When I grow up ..... yeah right!

    Y'see, I could say "You can go fast, I can go anywhere, Africa Twin" But you buggers have 'em as well so it would sound pretty lame .... oops!

    Re: AT plastics and glue

    I used a kit of Plastic Weld from eBay. I can absolutely recommend it BUT it is fiddly to use - you have to go with the instructions and I recommend watching the DVD that comes with it. Cost about £10 I think. Well worth it as it effectively melts the plastic back so plastic welds it.

    It comes with toxic smelling solvent and powder plastic and some pipette bottles and moulding block
