Repairing a Britains MF6180.

[BGU]

Can anyone suggest a way of fixing this? The metal pin that holds the bonnet on has broken off the casing. Stupidly I tried to superglue it back on - so now the metal piece is stuck in the bonnet!!

Do you think something like araldite would fix it on firmly??

cant you pack inside with something if space and superglue it all to the chassis? \ \

Good thought!

i would use some hot melt glue or panel adhesive type glue , thick enough to put in and push on

I have done this 'repair' on others by drilling a hole down through the casting where the pin has broken off from and glued in a wooden dowel the original size and the original length, then the bonnet will push-fit back on, you may however have a bit of difficulty removing the broken bit of stud from the bonnet but you may be lucky enough to drill it out without damaging the plastic, or drill the bit in the bonnet with a smaller drill and screw in part way a self-tapping screw enough to give hold on the metal bit and pull it out, with the metal bit, with a pair of pliers.

i use araldite and it works a treat, one of the best around. it should do the job for you
