Chuck,
I'm with Robert on this one; JB Weld would be the way to go. I would
clamp the parts together and slather the stuff all around the outside and
inside of where the two parts come together. Give it a few days to set and you
should be back in business. And it's a heck of a lot cheaper than moving south.

Walt would have suggested his favorite adhesive, "JB Weld." ;o)

bottom of the case and the headlight assembly fell off to be left
dangling by its electrical cord. The resulting hole is relatively
rectangular and approximately 30x40mm with the walls of the case about
2mm thick.
The question is; what should I use to glue it back together.
Cyanoacrylate glue seems not the right thing to me since, although the
pieces fit back together fairly well, there are small gaps around the
periphery that I don't think will be bridged well by a "super glue"'. >
