Repairing a Torn Off Lug on a Track.

[christopher]

OK guys, need some of your collective wisdom.

I have a nice clear torn lug with no secondary damage to the track.
The cords are not damaged and the track itself shows no other signs of damage.

Whats the best treatment for this?

Having never had a "Partially Damaged" track before, wouldn't we want to seal up the Cord against water intrusion??

Its rubber and cords vulcanized together, I've never worried about it on any of my sleds. I suppose if one really wanted they could put some RVT silicone there or maybe some flex shot... I love those commercial's

On those I use black E6000 glue. Bonds to the track rubber, and holds up well.

Excellent.
I have LOADS of E6000 in this house.!

I've used E6000 many times to repair tracks, it works!

Yep ... E6000 works.

Or replace track and sell the one lug torn off for couple hundred bucks on Ebay.

Trim it flat with a fresh Olfa blade and apply E6000. Always worked for me.

Cut the track in half (length wise) and then repair with flex seal and see if it floats!

Cut any residual lug off and install an early ninties repair lug!
