    I repaired a crack and the bolt-loops on my tail section with a kit from plastex. See: http://plastex.net/Product_Info.php - it comes with molding "putty" that you heat-treat and form around the piece you want to replace.
    They are holding up thus far. I can post pics if you want.

    Sorry if the repair isn't easy to see clearly. The clearer plastic is the repair. I have completely rebuilt the loops. It's holding fine.

    It's difficult to get the rubber mounting grommets in and out of the loops so I just took the pics from where they were installed.

    The other repaired section still needs to be sanded and repainted. It's ugly but the plastic weld is strong.
