How about JB Weld, will that adhere to it at all?

maybe I should have said headlight HOUSING. I’m referring to the lower ‘<‘ that the fender extension mounts at.
I’ll take a pic Dfox

Take a picture if the broken area. I made a part to fix mine. Headlight was hanging out one day. Made new headlight bearings as well. I posted pics in my project thread but have to seaech for them.

Question—
I know the weak point at the hook on the bottom of the bucket, and the lower leading edge.... yep, the part that breaks if the a front bumper “contact”....... Q: Is there anyone that repairs these? Reason for asking: I have several that have the hook area broken off...... id rather not discard if the are repairable. Some have the edge all broken up, so they’re probably not a candidate....but like I said, I’d rather not discard if they’re repairable. Otherwise, it’s a shame, but they’ll go to scrap. FWIW: all of them have been stripped right down and I was able to build a complete undamaged pair for my project Dfox |
