Best way to repair this plastic switch?

araldite glue is crap.. & should not be used to fix plastic....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've used Araldite (2 part epoxy resin) to repair my centre console. The whole section where it connects to the base was broken. This glue fixed it perfectly and is a strong as the original plastic (if not better) and dried clear, you can't even tell it's been repaired.
Clean the surface properly and make sure that the bits fit back together nicely and it'll work perfectly.

sorry to disagree... but araldite is only good for wood.....
yes it will bond the plastic... but it will not weld the plastic like "Weld-on #16"
araldite will age & let go.....
i've just finished fixing the front plastic's on an old jukebox.. had to remove all the araldite some one else had used.......
i've been using this product for 20yrs to repair plastic....
it will weld, ABS, Styrene, Acrylic, etc
it will not fix Nylon or Poly Prop'..
for Poly prop' it is best to use a soldering iron & a filler rod...

Fair enough! Good info! I'll remember that next time i repair something, seems like the stronger option.

Take it you didn't try the wreckers, ebay international sellers, nor a WTB here ?

If worse comes to worse, and you're desiring the original unrepaired look, maybe yahoo Japan auctions thru one of the sites sponsors ?

Araldyte also has a melting point somewhere around 80 degrees C. I have seen items made using Araldyte as the bonding material fall apart within a few hours sitting in a car in the sun.

Another item is JB Weld, available at most auto stores. And another thing you can do is add in a black colouring powder to make it look more like the original.

Used Araldite here too on many plastic parts, works great and never a problem.
