Bit of isopon and it'll be good as new mate

It will affect is operation as that will be an air leak!

I would just get another, they are not exactly prone to failure!

Does Isopon stick to cast aluminium - won't it fall off with the vibration after a while?

PITA to weld, so best go for another one.

Not much point in trying to repair it, you are going to have an air leak and it will run like a dog!

You should be recycling your ally!

A new one shoud be easy to get hold of, but stuff like this will stick like the proverbial to a blanket, even under water if need be

. It fixed my petrol tank on another car

Isopon was a joke mate

- hence the smileys

Best place for it is the bin - get another
