My experience is that ABS is not the usual type plastic. I think it is one of those composite materials like Lexican. They make bike helmets and things like that out of it. I once saw a sales rep smash a damper lever with a hammer and as I recall the stuff deforms but it doesn't crack. Probably the only real difficulty with the product is selecting the right kind of adhesive for things like flange bushing cloth.
