1982 Battery Door Pull Fix - Epoxy recommendations
1982 CE corvette has broken pull on the battery door. It's a clean break and I'm assuming the chances of finding a replacement (I think it's part of the continuous molded plastic door frame) is close to zero. If I go the epoxy route, any recommendations? Anyone repaired one of these pulls? It's the hook part that broke off.
Thanks in advance for thoughts/ideas/recommendations.

Or if if you want to repair it, use an epoxy glue called plastic fusion or plastic weld... both work equally and will work great on the abs plastic. If you do buy the trims you'll need a can of dye to color them up so you might want to buy them in color (which may be cheaper).
