Rottdoglover Posted January 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 28, 2009 IF you can get both surfaces flat, Velcro works great. Did this to another brand bike and it lasted a few years. If you still have old panels, I'd try a fix before buying used. My luck is buy used and it breaks during installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonm. Posted January 31, 2009 Share #7 Posted January 31, 2009 PLASTIC repairs made easy. GO to wally world or True Value hdwr. Get Devcon Plastic welder. There are other plastic welders. But this stuff is the best. Read the directions, sets up fast at 70 degree air temp or greater. If the nipple thing is broken. Just thread a screw in the proper height and use Devcon over the screw and file , sand, grind to shape. you can even shape it while it sets by putting plastic wrap over and shape w/finger. Devcon does not stick to plastic wrap. Thus you can work it like modling clay for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mother Posted January 31, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 31, 2009 there is a product called Plastex. if you have a good pin, the kit has this plastercene type rubber that you heat up and you can make a mold of a good pin. then you pour in the powder and add the glue(kinda like a crazy glue) and the next day you pop out a pin that can be glued back onto the sidepanel. i was missing a couple and that is how i made my repair. a small kit from Plastex goes for around 20 bucks should easily do 4 pins. cheers, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
