A common problem is the 3 plastic posts inside the lense break off.
We have the technology to fit them back on with a product called Q bond.

This also fixes support posts back on Tourer rear lamp clusters and makes them stronger than new.

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.
