Fixing metal to plastic
Try not to make this too complicated...
The door fell of my washing machine and I need to fix it. It's a rental, so chucking it and buying a new one is not an option. (and it's the fitted type as well). The door consist of two plastic parts forming the inside and the outside of the door, with the glass and the fixings squashed in between. Alignment on the hinge relys upon these two parts being fixed together tightly. A replacement door is only available as a full set of parts costing over 100 quid! (with delivery) It fell off, because two of the pillars that the screws fit into have broken off and it is no longer secure. So, does anyone have any ideas how I form something that the screws can screw into, to hold the door together properly again? I don't think that glueing the pillars back on with super glue is going to be strong enough, but perhaps it is? TIA tim |
