Hello everyone, unfortunately we haven’t progressed far enough for a build diary this week.
Unfortunately, we have run into a substantial problem. As you can see in these two pictures the Canopy is rather heavily cracked.
We would like to appeal for either advice as to how to fix the canopy, or alternatively, to ask whether anyone knows where we can get a replacement part from. We have not been able to find a replacement issue or part through the usual channels.
Please contact us either through the comments, our Facebook page or directly at archive@internationalbcc.co.uk if you know of anything that might help us. Thank you.
Obviously, any glue will attack the plastic. You could try to very carefully introduce a bit of ‘SuperGlue’ into the cracks. Alternatively, you could try some sort of clear fluid, e.g. Silicone oil, that would wick into the cracks and hopefully minimise them optically. I’m thinking along the lines of ‘Invisible windscreen repair’ techniques although I don’t know what sort of compound they use. Good luck.
