Methyl Ethyl Ketone. In the painting dept of stores. Dissolves plastics and when mixed with a similar parent material makes a good liquid welding solution. Is water tight.

Excellent, so what do I do? Mix some black plastic shavings with a little of the MET? and fill the hole? I supposeI could tape the inside of the hole to provide a "form" for the mixture to cure to.

Yep it was after you guys left. I was feeling pretty good still and my confidence was up so I ventured back onto the trails. I had a great time right up to the point I fell. That just sucked all my energy and ruined an otherwise great day. I will definitely be up for more riding out there whenever you guys feel up to it.

My bike didn't have a toolkit but I still keep the pouch on my MX fender and I keep a few tools in there. I'm probably going to add my Swiss Army knife as it has a Phillips in it among other tools that might come in handy.

The spring is unusual in shape as it is like a funnel as it is bigger on one end. I tried a spring from a fuse holder but it wasn't the right size and didn't have much strength to it.

Most of the pictures were from when we were down on the creek that feeds into the Red River.

mixed with a similar parent material
I go to Tripp plastics and get a bag of their ground up scrap for dissolving.

That is similar but not exact as our plug also has the two brake light wires.
