Repairing cracked plastic?

[pepperami]

So I`m trying to repair a Sachs XTC 125 and the plastic seat cowling is cracked (as they all do ).

I was thinking of drilling both sides of the crack and wiring it together and then bonding a piece of plastic across the crack on the underside .
Or just bonding a piece of shaped plastic on the underside across the crack.

Here`s the question : what bonding glue/material to use?
Have any of the mighty BCF ever had experiance doing this?
Any pointers please

Thanks in advance

I've seen someone "solder" it back together.

I say solder, a soldering gun and a cable tie... melts it back together n that

I've yet to find an adhesive that works really well. If its ABS then it may be worth trying plastic pipe cement, used for guttering and other plastic pipes. Personally I get teh soldering iron out and do a bit of DIY plastic welding.

Well! I never thought I would ever be thinking about fixing my bike with bits of an old coat-hanger

Solder iron and some scrap plastic is the best option, unless you have money to burn.

Watch the fumes. They're highly toxic and will give you the mother of all headaches if you're doing the repair indoors at a table.
