What's the best way to "repair" this? The snapped off piece is no where to be found.Getting a new shell and repainting and re-decaling is not an option for me. I can file the nubs down and glue a third party piece if there is such a thing. Matching touch up paint is not a problem if I can replace the stirrup somehow.
I have have some luck with the following. I glue the stirrups back on then glue tiny little strips of paper to the backs of the two vertical pieces and to the shell. You could use thread too. It doesn't show, adds a little strength, and it adds a little security to keep from losing the stirrups went they break again which they usually do.
Thanks Nate. That may do it.Mecgp7, unfortunately I don't have the broken part. It was bought used and I didn't notice it until I got home.Thomas, how would do your Katos. I'm assuming you saved the broken parts?
