Man my left head light mount broke :/ Options

[emachine]

The mounts that hold my left headlight housing broke the other day and Ive temporarily put some krazy glueon there to hold it in place but I really need to replace it soon. Does anyone know how much the headlight with the entire housing assembly would go for?

Is fiberglass going to be sturdy enough for something like that?

What about using steel reinforced putty? I'm not sure how it'll bond to the ABS, but it might bond pretty okay, then you can shape it, let it set and it'll harden to super-duper hard. It's drillable too, so you can drill it out once it's hardened, and be able to securely fasten that bolt!

you could, but the word "overkill" comes to mind. besides, this'll hold, it'll hold just fine. With a good squirt of hardner, it'll be as hard as as the ABS and will seal like no-body's business. Cheaper too!!

i've also heard somone say you can JBweld it... Whatever~

I'd glass it personaly, hey, if you wanted to you could re-fabricate one out of stainless steal, lol. Just gotta know what your doin is all. I'm just comfortable with Fiberglass....

Overkill? Really? It's just a little tube of stuff, like the size of a cigar... it's pliable and easy to shape... but this, coming from someone who recreated an entire air induction box out of that stuff and a rusted shell of what was left of one. Gotta put the BFA to practical real-life use.
