beef Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 that's a good link. have repaired plastics like that before. but I added some fibreglass I=on the inside as extra strength. post some pics of your fairng for us to look at. and it may be cheaper to get replacement panels rather than a pro repair....

feliks Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yup, same thing I did...soldering iron and zip ties! I heard ABS pipe works well too...or you can also use acetone to melt the ABS together. Another tip is to fill a jar with some ABS pipe shavings and some acetone so it makes a runny paste and then put that in the crack after you notch it into a v-shape. I need to re-do some of my fix-up jobs though, didn't use enough heat to melt the zip ties, and then I made the mistake of using spot putty on the outside, which cracked.
