Repair process

First I used ABS cement like the OP used to join and seal all of the cracks. Only takes seconds to set, so you have to be quick when joining pieces. The missing piece, that I thought I would have to fill with cement or a donor piece, was found inside of the faring and wheel well cover when I took the fairing off. Just had to cement it back in. With the amount of damage and cracks that I had, the cement was not enough to make the repair secure, so I used my soldering iron, black zip ties and reinforcement wire to complete the repair.

Reinforcement wires that I bent into rectangular and square shapes for added strength as shown in the video I posted earlier.
