My crack has gone....
I had a crack on my lowers at the engine fixing bolt area.
So i had an idea to fix it....... Soldering Iron across the crack to bond it and then using a cable tie, i melted it like you would with solder and fixed it over the top of the crack. Good as new now  Just had to share my handy work with someone......

Re: My crack has gone....
was it a cable tie ,or one designed for plants.
If you would have asked me I could have supplied you with the tools and weld that is used for vinyl floors. May have melted the cheapo SV plastic used on pointies though |

It was a cable tie. The crack was only half inch if that, and very thin.
