    Side Cover Repair

    What kind of glue do you use to repair cracks on the covers and can you put a patch on the back to reinforce it. If so what do you use for reinforcement? Have two covers that have small cracks that need repaired before painting.

    Thanks Tom

    i would mix up a batch of fiberglass resin
    lay a piece of fiberglass mat on the inside of the cover and soak it with resin
    let it dry, should be fine
