Try super glue and baking soda?
Agree. Try watching some YouTube videos on super glue and baking soda to get an idea about mixing and working the two. Adding some ground up plastic should help make the patch less obvious.
Serious Question RE: Adhesives

Its all in the prep -- make sure the surfaces you are putt0mh adhesive on are scuffed up and not shinny
I hope the prep isn't like the one I had to do before my last colonoscopy

super glue and baking soda works great. I used some on a plastic snow blower chute that was cracked. Now I can throw ice chunks through that son of a b##ch and it works great. Did I mention that I hate f##king winter?

Not sure of the color of the plastic but super glue can leave a white residue that doesn’t look good and damn near impossible to get off... jus saying

I have read about that but never tried it. Oh, that was not Liquid Steel it is J B Weld like Funinthesun said

Permatex also makes one for plastics that works really well. My coolant tank broke in Maggie last year and I went to the local autozone and got a tube. I didn't remove the tank or drain the coolant and it held until I got home and could replace it.

[/quote]Lol absolutely not. I’d walk back to MI before I spent 12hrs in that race seat. I did drive it the rest of the season which included a few weekends at the drag strip using the one I fixed.

I've used the JB Weld before with good results for metal products, but never any plastics. I have all the pieces in good size chunks and they fit together tightly. I don't need anything to fill the voids, which is why I was leaning away from this one or the other 2 part epoxy products. But they do work. I was kinda hoping that someone bought and had good results with any of the thin items like super glue or Monkey glue items. Heck if this gets too be too tough to glue back together, I might just try tracing it on a piece of aluminum and cutting one out of that for myself. Thanks for the input OM. I'll let you know what I end up doing this week (if I finish my taxes first)
JB WELDED my cracked van fender flare....it was just like using body putty....sand-able and stuff....I drilled a bunch of holes along the sides crack to allow the stuff to get in the holes to hold better....
What about the glue you harden with a blue light?
do you know about drilling a hole at the end of a crack to keep it from growing? -

Yup, but when the bracket is in three pieces, it's too late to stop the crack from spreading (No comment please Tripod)

Just wondering, is the shape of the part complex?
Could you scan it and 3D print a new one?

Just an update.
I haven't had a chance to do anything with the broken bracket yet. I was stuck finishing up doing my taxes and finally got them finished. This is what the broken bracket looks like and I'm hoping to get it reattached this week. I'll let you know how it works out.
thanks for all the ideas

what about getting a longer bolt and if you don’t mind putting a lock washer and lock aircraft nut at the bottom. Go straight through.
