If you're in the UK, they unfortunately cannot ship to you from the U.S. 😞 However you might inquire with them to ask about a UK equivalent manufacturer. https://www.polyvance.com/PlastiFix-Kits-1/2503/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Thumbs Posted January 21, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted January 21, 2021 I’ve repaired numerous cracks, missing tabs, big chunks knocked out etc on the fairing panels on my 89 RC24 ABS is 60% styrene and acetone is a solvent for it, there’s numerous YouTube videos ...I’ve also used ABS pipe cement from builders merchants with considerable success, dirt cheap and has a thickening agent of clear ABS dissolved in it Evesham .....that’s not far from me ....Wotton Under Edge .... I always get my asparagus from the farm shop in Wickhamford, good excuse to blast up the Fosse Way If you have the panels, even in bits they can be repaired ....honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer DannoXYZ Posted January 21, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted January 21, 2021 I keep scraps of old fairings around just for cases like this. As Thumbs mentioned, acetone will dissolve ABS. Be sure to remove all paint from old fairings (which acetone won't melt), then chop into little bits and dissolve into a slurry paste. Use this paste to repair cracks in fairings. V-notch back side of cracks to increase contact surface area. You can even use it to repair holes by gluing in patch panels cut to fit opening. Sand mating surfaces beforehand to remove paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer DannoXYZ Posted January 22, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted January 22, 2021 How-to videos from random search. Tonnes out there. Review several so you're familiar with procedure. If you carefully tape pieces together before gluing, outside surface can be perfect and not require much cleaning up at all. For mostly flat areas, I'll use blue masking tape. For curves. i'll use duct tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
