The left shroud was cracked and the right one was missing the lower mounting peg (where it pops into the grommet on the tank). I glued the crack with some Locktite adhesive and then used pop rivets, JB weld epoxy, and some new plastic to reinforce it. I also reinforced the other side to help prevent breakage.

| Since the lower mounting peg was gone, I made a new one using Motion Pro 1/4" Tygon fuel line |
 |
| I used a brass 1/4" NPT to barb fitting; I cut the threads off |
 |
| I chose the 1/4" Tygon fuel line because it fit nicely through the grommet |
 |
| Just pop it on and then snug the bolt to keep it on |
 |
| Ugly, but functional. Maybe kinda steampunk? |
