Bendix float bowl repair

Hi, it's been a while.

Major up today. I was a bit heavy handed when fitting the float bowl and have caused a hair line fracture in it. Does any one have a good repair solution. Money is very tight at the moment, can't afford to buy a new one. Alternatively does any one have one they want to sell? I tryed chemical metal but when I tightened up the F B the c m cracked.

Thanks in advance

Iron Andy

Mm,bad timing,this would be the stuff but it says he can't send till the 6th as he's away.
Watch the vid any way,I've seen live demo,it's some trick stuff.

If you use something like this give the bowl a good scrub with detergent and rinse to get rid of fumes.
