Have photos of both types of repair for howto somewhere when time permits |
I'd appreciate that Jules. Don't know if you remember, but when you spent a day doing what you could for my car in October 2010, you discovered the top o/s rear cluster post had had a metal bracket bolted AND bonded to it as a (very good) repair. Last week, immediately before going away on holiday, the n/s stop light bulb blew and I discovered that some kind person had (since October 2010) broken the ends off both of the n/s cluster plastic posts and not told me.
In the dark, as a temporary repair, I used Araldite to bond metal washers to the ends of the posts.
My love affair with Araldite began in the 1970s when I used it to bond a couple of broken cooling fins back onto the the cylinder head of a Suzuki 2-stroke twin. It wasn't a brilliant repair, but it looked a damn sight better than leaving it broken and it lasted several thousand miles. Right until the bike was scrapped.
