anybody who has a piece of broken plastic with which to deal on your car (or, i learned from continually getting off my motorcycles before they were stopped.) the best way to deal with plastic is to use baking soda and super thin super-glue. fill crack or chips with baking soda and apply glue. the preferred applicator here is a piece of tube filament. i get mine from a local hobby shop who makes their own super-glue but fly tie supply places have it. you can build up (in thin coats of baking soda) to 1/4" thick or more. i have made full loops with this method for the cowling of a motorcycle, dropped the bike again and the loop survived while the rest of the piece suffered severe trauma. one of the advantages to using this method... makes no difference what type of plastic it is. super glue does not discriminate.

ok ok. i was wrong and i ve never plastic welded, epoxied or even super glued. but in the future.... i m super gluing everything plastic in a car or motorcycle cause i ve never done it before and it has never worked on the track, in the garage or in my bathroom for that matter. but i ll bet.... next time any of you have to fill a crack you re going to go out and buy my acme marine and navy plastic welder to take care of that battery cover.... hit me back the minute you do. or hit me back the minute you decide to use a bottle of supe glue and baking soda for under 10 bucks. you guys crack me up. have any of you ever really spent some time on a track? i love a new forum. if you haven t figured it out yet, and not that you care but.... i m new to the 914 experience and the "porsche club" talkies but no walkies. by the way i don t exactly have a porsche engine in my "porsche" but the porshies all like to talk to me about their "vast" experience and then say "hey there, i m not sure i ve seen that porsche engine before. is that the 4 cammer? i ve always wanted to see one. look mayble a four cammer...." awwww porsche owners.... i was warned to stay away from the forum.... so if i give out b.s. advice do i become an "advanced member?" oh boy. oh boy.
