mealexme Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 long story short, I need some way of attaching plastic to plastic. Its an LED in a housing which used to clip into the fairing (I think it used to be connected to an alarm system at some point). The LED and housing had to be filed down to make room fro a modification to the bike and the clip on the housing has been sanded off so now I need a non-permanent way of attaching it to the bike.Anyone got any ideas?

Tango Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Silicon Rubber......the stuff they flog in smallish tubes in Maplin.....should be OK as a non permanent fixing...... http://www.maplin.co.uk/search?text=Ser ... alant+75ml Quote
mealexme Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 I dont think velcro would work as there isn't much surface area for it to hold onto, plus if/when the LED is removed, the velcro will be left behind. The idea is for the LED to be a temporary fix to fill the hole that a previous owner drilled into the fairing. I'll look into the silicon rubber. Thanks tango Quote
numptyspence Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 You can get a product called plastex which fills the hole. I have used it on small holes and big hole om my panniers after a argument with a bollard. Then once filled drill it again this time the right size.There is where a learned off it -hope it helpshttp://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/plastex-repair-kit/You can find it on eBay etc.. Quote
