Bad news Steve. JB Weld doesn't work well on that type of plastic.
It might work for you but it didn't work for me.
I took a Plastic elbow with 1/4" pipe threads on one side and a serrated
end on the other, screwed the threaded side into the original housing,
pushed a piece of clear tubing on the serrated end and then had a
flexible hose that proved very useful in filling my 1 gallon water jugs
and saved me about $38.00.
I used it for seven years and only purchased the replacement faucet when
I had a buyer for my Westy.
I also installed a tiny neon light to tell me when the pump was getting
power so I didn't twist that handle completely off waiting for water to
make a showing.
Oh! By the way the little elbow leaked, but it leaked into the sink so
what's the dif?.
A little Teflon tape would have filled the gaps and stopped the leak but
it leaked into the sink so what's the dif? I just never put that tape on
it.
