Part of my MD-20 broken. Pics

DryFire · 10-31-2004, 08:58 PM

Well i just got a pair of MD-20RZG-1's from a lab auction. One of them came with a part of it broken. It is not necessary for it to run but it makes the impeller rattle around a bit, I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes as i have yet to test the pump that seem to be in prefect condition.

I was thinking i should just super glue (or some other adhesive) the part back on, but since I'm thinking of selling it that may not be such a good idea ? (may or may not sell it)

Any better way to fix it?

Lid and it's broken piece:

The broken part will sit on the impeller even in operation:

buy a new housing for it

I'd try superglue first. Let it sit for while so it cures completely before you run it.

That will probably work. Worth a shot.

I recommend epoxy, but that is just me. Some plastic bond epoxy will hold anything.

Cyanoacrylicates tend to break down in water, try a waterproof epoxy.

The housing is probably at least $10, probably closer to $20, plus shipping.

This housing should be made out of either glass-filled polypropylene, or nylon (probably the former). That should make your adhesive selection easier...
