My vibrating engine has claimed a major casualty! My lovely indicators have developed some serious fractures, can these be fixed, plastic welding or low viscosity glue injections? Any ideas?

could try captain tolleys creep and cure.
A little bit might seal it up.

I <3 that stuff! If I was going with my garrage staples I was thinking perhaps some epoxy casting resin? I managed to bridge a gap of several centimeters on my rear lights with that stuff...?

Do you think something like a windscreen repair kit will work? The plastic epoxy is probably nearer to plastic than glass in any case? Most of them work by creating a vacuum of some kind.

Drill a tiny hole at the end of the crack. This will stop it running further.
