gluing broken side cowl piece

[Joa]

Anyone know which glue will adhere well to bond on the plastic tang/post that holds the upper, aft RX-1 side cowl. It's the tang closest to the cowl latch and has broken clean off.

I can't stand it when they use tangs instead of screws. In cold weather they always seem to snap.

Thanks.

Both of mine have broken off. The hood keeps it in place,with the other 7 screws holding it in place not a big deal.

I recently fixed a post on the apex gas tank cover used this found it at walmart seems to be holding real good so far. I also used it and mesh to fix a hood on a summit 670 and worked great.

Thanks guys, I'll leave as-is for now until I can find that glue.

My post actually ripped right off. If I have any issues I think I will just drill a hole and use a screw and a self retaing nut like the rest of the panel.

I went and got some of those automotive panel fasteners cut to specks then glued them on

Heres what I did, went down and got a 1/4 inch stainless button head capscrew, with a hex. Polished it. drilled a hole where the plastic stud was. then got a piece of 3/8" aluminum rod 5/16 long and drilled a 1/4 hole in it to make a spacer, then a couple of 1/4 inch stainless fender washers. So the whole mess bolts in like this
