Pannier hinge snapped off

[bloodbikes]

Hey, does anyone out there have any idea how to fix a broken pannier hinge?
It has broken on the lid side taking some plastic with it, knowing what parts cost it's going to be a new lid if I go that way, I was thinking of fitting a metal plate then fixing the hinge to that, but if anyone has had the same problem or knows a better way, I would be grateful.

You should be able to get it plastic welded shouldn't you???

Not sure Tom, do you know of anywhere in Southern Perth area that does it?

A good call by STinky Pete.
I forgot about the plastex stuff.
If you can get 5 minutes call into a Toolmart store and have a look at the Plastex, they have a video in store. I think it cost about $30-$40.

Plastex does work, and I am also a fan of JBweld (although it sets a grey/black colour) - available in Jcar and some automotive places.
