I have a parra with one of the top support tabs broken, i have the bit that snapped off just wondered if it can be reattached? And if anyone in Adelaide can do it for a resonable amount

Yeah it can be reattached.

Relatively simple job.

I tried yellow pages and came up with a few possibilities:

Rotomech
Plastics--Fabricators - Pooraka, SA
9 Burmar St, Pooraka SA 5095, Australia
(08) 7127 3165

and a couple that might be even better in this search:

Good luck!

TBH if only one clips broken it's not gonna affect anything.

I've found ok results with using superglue along the crack and epoxy+bog powder to re-enforce it. Looks like poo though.

Use superglue to join the bits, then cut out some metal in the right shape and superglue that under the plastic to reinforce it.
