I have managed to snap the lever off my bonnet release catch. Its a plastic join. Other then two part epoxy and loctite contact glue, any suggestions on a glue that has the welding properties of the Loctite Contact and reinforcement factor of epoxy resin.


(my problem with epoxy resin is it is messy and sometimes does not harden enough.)

Hot glue gun, and a soldering iron. Melt the hot glue onto the broken area, and then use a soldering Iron to melt some of the origional plastic into the hot glue, the more the merrier.

Get another lever, it cant be massive money! I doubt you'll find a glue that can withstand the forces you'll be putting through it when you pull/twist/yank the lever.
