I have a set of dana HP1100 trim tabs (bought new 4years ago).
About 12 months ago I noticed one of the pumps had developed a crack in the plastic fluid reservoir. The crack is up near the mounting point, so in desperation to use the boat I just put some sikaflex over it. Unfortunately the sika doesn't adhere for long due to the trim fluid and I want to replace/repair it.
Where is the best place to get a new plastic reservoir? (I live in Australia by the way)
Short of buying a new one could it be plastic welded? Not very familiar with plastic welding process except I know they fix car bumpers this way. Or would this method warp the reservoir?
