Jamie 1 Posted June 25, 2019 Don’t suppose anyone has come up with a convincing repair for broken tabs on the centre console? I’ve got two snapped on the heater dial mounting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted June 25, 2019 If you've still got the broken parts you can plastic weld them with a soldering iron. I sometimes slice off thin strips of the item to be welded so you know the material is correct. Ive also used some stainless mesh in the melted plastic.

Jamie 1 Posted June 26, 2019 Hi Hasan - nice to see you still around mate :) I did think about plastic welding but think I’d better have a practice before I end up with a melted mess. That’s a brilliant idea about using shavings Fla. I was hoping someone had come up with some sort of bracket or flip solution but looks like I’m going to have to be that man :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 30 Posted June 26, 2019 Those tabs are a real pain - one is broken on mine and I tried to bond it back on, but it broke again in no time. I wonder if you used plastic or fabric/felt washers and made sure not to over-tighten the screws, as they seem to break when unscrewing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted June 27, 2019 I’ve bodged it with Araldite and Milliput for now. Seems solid enough... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted June 27, 2019 Thanks for the kind words Jamie. I'm sure your repair will be perfect! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
