Don't laugh! For sure I'd replace it if you can find/make a suitable replacement. But I'd be real curious how a proper epoxy repair would hold up. The only issue here is that you have a rather small surface area for the repair, but even still, IMHO, I think it would work just fine. And if it didn't, you're no worse off - just some wasted effort. Terry Farrell On Aug 21, 2012, at 10:54 PM, Dean May wrote: > Ha!
