Hey guys,

I just found out that 2 of my headlight brackets have been snapped during an accident. It was a very clean break.

So I'm just wondering if anyone knows any good plastic welder around Melbourne?

And if I do plastic weld it, would I see the weld marks? Or are they good enough to make it invisible? :D

Cheers

Is the attached break in the pics fixable? Wouldnt mind fixing this series 2 headlight but if it cant be done/to expensive then will not bother.

Yea bud that's fixable it shouldn't be to much but don't quote me, I had worse fairing damage to my motorbike, they welded it, sanded it, and painted it, good as new, since its on the inside they will probably only need to weld it back together as long as you dont mind it looking a little funny

EDIT: Also try pretty much any motorcycle repair shop it's pretty much a required skill for them since when you crash your going to break plastics also they might be a little be more well equipped for a smaller job since its not like a crack in your front bar or whatnot

Thanks for the reply mate, actually replaced my headlight so this is a spare. Just deciding if it's worth fixing and flogging off... I'll try some bike repair places and see what sort of $ to fix then work out if it's feasible. Cheers.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
