I need to repair a broken threaded plastic throttle cable adjuster.The part is NLA. So far on a internet search I've come up with Fusor 153 and Plastex. Anyone have experience with these or any other recommendations? TIA.
Any idea the type of plastic? What bike and year...that might give clues? I would use plastex...that looks like some acrylate stuff...super glue. That maybe OK for some stuff. I would look for an epoxy or urethane for plastic repair. Maybe a primer as well. Look for automotive stuff from SEM, Henkel, 3M, etc. If you have an auto body supply store near you go there. Or see what you get on amazon. Also depending on how its broke and how it may be stressed...the glue may not hold long term. make sure its cleaned...use isopropyl alcohol or whatever the glue people recommend. A little mechanical abrasion should help as well.
This and mechanical abrasion should not be overlooked. Depending on real estate available and wall thickness making some very slight undercuts with your tool Of choice, opposing where you feel it may “pull” apart comes in very handy.
F that easy route BS, next thing ya know yall are going to recommend he use the sissy lever to slow down.
A stuck WFO throttle and lack of brakes are my nightmares. I tend to avoid JB Weld, plastic weld, epoxy, etc in those areas. Don't get me wrong, I'll JB Weld a broken frame, but I'm not crazy.
