I removed my fairing today to stick my new gauges in, and one of my front speakers was flapping in the wind.

Where one of the screws holds the 6 1/2" speaker adapter ring to the fairing, a small piece that surrounded the screw , broke off.

On the other side , ( on the top), the screw pulled through the ring.

What is the best " plastic cement " to use to repair this ??? I bought some Gorrilla Glue, but the package says not to use it on plastic.

Any suggestions ????

 

JB Weld........

 

I don't think that JB Weld is compatible with plastic. My brother -in-law works at the plant that manufactures it, so I called him to get some. He said it reacts with, and ruins the plastic. Who'da thunk it ???

I don't know if maybe super glue or acrylic nail glue would be my best bet.

 

In my experience JB Weld works fine on the ABS fairing plastic. I had one of the two lower mounts crack and I repaired it with JB Weld, which was still holding fine up until the time I replaced the outer fairing for another reason.

 

Gonna head to Lowes this morning to see if they have some "plastic" specific glue/bonding stuff.

 

If the adaptor rings are ABS, ABS pipe cement would work.
Loctite Super Glue will work also.

 

Lowes sells a 2-part epoxy, looks like two syringes together that mixes as you push the plunger, it will hold anything, sets up in a couple of hours, will "thread" and hold a screw great. Don't remember the name, but will be easy to find.

 

Devcon?

 

Go to E-Bay and buy another adapter ring. You can pick up a set for roughly $43.00. I would worry when the weld or repair is going to break again.

 

Maybe you got to much Thump in your system there GP. lol

Good luck on finding something and let us know what works.
