Re: Breakage in plastic body

One thing I thought of a while back was to mill out slots into the body (running down the joints, maybe about 3 or 4 slots around the circumference) that run above and below the crack, and into these slots screw stainless steel plates into the body (but very slightly smaller than the slots, with a series of countersunk screw holes along their length), and cover the plates in the slots to the surface of the body with filler.

Again it's getting hold of someone with a milling machine that has the size to take a contra joint. Or if you're handy with a router or chisel you could do these by hand, mounting the joint in a vice or similar.
