Shotgun 2 hairline crack
« on: February 08, 2013, 11:08 PM »
Can this sort of thing be repaired? Would it get worse by riding it as is?

It doesn't flex or anything like that.















Cheers

I doubt if it will get that much worse.Maybe try and split it and get some araldite or somthing in there but could get messy.Best thing to do would probably be leave as is,it doesn't show on top :daumenhoch:

It does show on top but isn't easy to see, I'm worried that sitting on the seat will make it split further.

Can't be plastic welded? probably not worth the effort anyway.

it may be a possibility,Best thing to do would be to take it to your local bodyshop.They usually have plastic welding gear for bumpers etc.A hot soldering iron on the underside may seal it up and stop it getting any worse :daumenhoch:

Personally i'd leave it as it is. Attempting a repair might strengthen it but probably wouldn't look too good.

It will get worse, and one day will open up just enough to grab a hold of your ball bag, before clasping shut again.

You'd better sell it to me, I'll save you  ;)
