JB-Weld is pretty good.  You can get it from Jaycar.
A man rides on his STeed, says “Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention”.

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.

Our own "John g" does excellent plastic bodywork and spraypaint repairs, but he's in Port Elliot in SA.     He fixed "Shillas" ST1300 bodywork after he hit a roo, which smashed his side panel into numerous bits.

Ok thank you. It’s looks like a similar system to loctite but I’ll give it a crack 👍
Thanks all 👍

Failing that, a good plastic welder should be able to help.
