So far - in searching ebay, I haven't found that part (cord rewind housing) for sale.
I'm thinking - my plan for this crack might be:
1. First, I'll try and glue or epoxy it. But, I will say - I have never had any luck with epoxies. They have always failed on me. Maybe I just never used a good enough product - not sure.
2. What I would actually like to do is cut the nub off flush and drill a hole where the nub used to be. Then, if I can find one, I'd like to install an appropriately sized bulkhead tubing adapter. It would be bolted and gasketed on so that it would create a nice seal. The issues I might have are - not sure if I can find the right sized bulkhead and more importantly - I'm not sure if there is enough room inside the housing at that spot for a nut to secure the fitting. I will know more when I open the winder up (which I'm not looking forward to-I'm having visions of the spring acting like one of those snakes-in-a-can.
So anyway - those are my thoughts at this point.
Let me also ask - what is the purpose of this vacuum tubing connection between the bag chamber and the cord rewinder housing?
Thanks,
Steve
