anybody have a vintage air unit in their car? the little plastic drain tube that the drain hose attaches to "mysteriously" got broke on mine. its a clean break, and was wondering what any of you have used. epoxy? superglue? any hints, suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated especially since summer has arrived with a vengence here.
It's hard to beat JB Weld if you let it sit overnight,do not use the JB Quick Weld it does not have the holding strength another option may be replacing the plastic piece with a PVC ****** the PVC glue sets in an instant and is strong as hell.
thanks for the info. might have to try the ****** as it broke off flush and cleanly with the side of the housing. kinda one of those 'well ****' moments.
Contact Vintage Air for their recommendations. You are certainly not the first one to ever break one of their housings so I'm sure they've got a cure. Good luck!
thanks dad, i appreciate it. i thought about it, but it was sat night when it happened and i thought i would get faster results here. will call tomorrow and post findings here for the next person.
i had a crack on the water box used jbweld it work great but sand the place to done smood and clean it good it will work.
am going to try to call vintage air first. after standing in the sun and traffic for 8 to 10 hours, the last thing i have been thinking of is fixing the cars ac. will get to it soon tho.
