Tool box repair?

Post by fredguaz »

Are there any plastic experts out there that can guide me on the best way to repair a crack in my fiat tool box? What kind of plastic it is (hard?) and the best method to repair a crack in the corner of the box? On a related note, I'm missing the small "t" wrench that goes in the corner. Does anybody have one they are willing to part with?
Thanks,
Fred

I would post a want ad for a box. Easier than repairing that plastic. There are many adhesives that would sound right on paper but it wont be an easy repair IMHO.

Keep looking on e-bay. there is a box in great shape on there now. however, it is missing the T-Tool you are referring to. It took me six months to find a suitable tool box. $30 was the cost. Box had everything except the punch tool and I made one of those from a steel tent spike that mirrors the original.
