Here is a side plate I and got er back together in a few days of ..cleaning, clamping,gluing,sanding,re-glueing, sanding,grinding,sanding,polishing, etc......
This is how it came to me
Cleaned with Brake Cleaner
OUTDOORS wearing Gloves and paint mask (this stuff will kill your liver,pancreas,kidneys, lungs,Hell it is Bad Stuff) several times and let dry over night!!
Then glueing liberally with Super Glue sticking together holding in place while putting lid back on Glue then wiping excess with towell and clamping with makeshift clamp placing face down on a flat surface is important.
First run on it had to wight down the clap and vice grips I used to tighten Clamp....lol
Pre Sanding Front
Pre sanding Back
More Glue to fill valley was needed in several steps to get repair where it could be sanded and flush
Finishing off with severap hours of sanding filling and more sanding the buffing like Hell to get to this
