Another view of the whole lid. In retrospect I used more of the slurry then needed. For this application the thicker parts took about 24 hours to cure.

The other side where there was a crack in the outer edge. These outer edge repairs were applied only with acetone which worked really well.

A reinforcement on the outer edge of the middle of the lid where one of the main cracks started. I put a small piece on the vertical and horizontal surfaces.

The final product. Before the application of the reinforcement pieces, I bent back the lid to slightly open up the cracks and applied acetone to help weld them closed. I used packing tape to pull the lid into shape to compress the cracks closed.

These needles would normally have gone down under the grill and into the inlet for the HVAC. A few years ago I pulled out a good half-dozen big handfuls of these when I cleaned it all out.

The vacuum advance uses a threaded rod as part of the mechanism to adjust the initial tension on the spring and the amount of advance/retard allowed. Used a bolt to replace this.
