Broken tank panel tab on 696

[MadDaddy]

Anyone know the best glue to use to fix a broken tank panel tab on a 696 tank panel. I'd like to know before trying something that would eat the plastic.

I use JB weld on everything.  I assume the tank panel is some sort of plastic ABS so almost any 2 part epoxy will give you a good hold.  Scuff up the surfaces to be bonded with some sand paper or scotch bright.  If you can, re-enforce the break with another piece of similar plastic and glue the whole thing together.  Good luck.

Great, that's what I thought but wanted to check. Thanks!

I think it was bent by original owner. I replaced tank panel one night and oops! Very thin plastic where tab attaches to panel.
