dubweiser 0 Posted December 7, 2004 The 2 lugs on top of my passenger side headlight that the fixing screws go through have snapped.Ive bunged loads of gluefrom a hot melt gun at the moment as a temporary fix but it doesnt look too pretty.Any advice on a better way to fix this problem as i dont want to go down the road of buying a new light for nearly a hundred quid if i can fix it.Thought about plastic welding??Anyone know anywhere in the north east that does this kind of work?

ben16v 0 Posted December 7, 2004 i`ve got a spare set with broken lugs too... reckon it`s too small an area to weld.... dunno.,..... as you said, superglue?????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 8, 2004 On my first Corrado I made up some thin aluminium repair plates with the holes in the correct places and then JB Weld'd them onto the case and the broken bit to add in some strength... worked well until my new headlamps arrived anyway... 8) (JB weld is an American 2 part metal glue you can buy from Halfords and is fecking strong stuff!)

theRuler 0 Posted December 8, 2004 jb weld is eterno gum, i can vouch for that. my passenger side headlight is damaged in the same way. and it's "wobbly bob" i will attempt the jb / ali plate idea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
