Has anyone had any luck reattaching the mounting arm on a vacuum wiper motor? I dropped mine while cleaning it and the prices for replacements are getting pretty steep.

The strength and holding power of some modern-day Crazy Glue derivatives are unbelievable. You have nothing to lose if you try an extra strength version and allow full curing time.

Old diecast is real tender, let us know if you find a satisfactory fix for it.

I have used JB Weld Steelstik and have had excellent results. Even used it on a Marvel carb float bowl that had holes in the casting, still running. Follow direction and insure it is clean.
