Side cover tabs - anyone do a 3D print file of one?

[Andrew Vanis]

Anyone make a 3D or CAD file of a side cover tab?

My side cover is missing a tab. Thinking of printing one and reattaching with ABS glue. Should be compatible.

I'm thinking printing it sideways so the layers go from base to point/tip so less likely to pull apart.

Another idea is I can make a silicone mold off the other side, fill the mold with ABS glue and wait for it to congeal and then glue that on to the missing side.

Any other ideas/thoughts?

Hey Andy.

This thread has some good discussion on repairing side panels.

I purchased this kit through Amazon. Repaired / reattached a 'ready to fall off' tab on my GS 1100E and made an impression of one good tab to make / attach in essentially 1 step a tab that was missing. The kit comes with all necessary accoutrements, chemicals etc. per description. Enough to mold and make and attach dozens of tabs. 100 Percent satisfaction here.
