\"Step<\/a>
Step 1 of instructions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

I decided to purchase a Syringe pack of 24 hr Alaldite glue. I choose 24hr glue because it offers strengths up to 150kg. I choose to get it in syringe form to help with the delivery of equal amounts of Part A and Part B.<\/p>\n

I was very careful to follow the instructions. The instructions said to mix it for a minute and then let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. So I did this.<\/p>\n

Before doing any gluing I marked 7cm down the motor mount, so I would glue it in the right place. I also marked the strap.<\/p>\n

I was very particular about the GRIT of sand paper. I wanted to ensure I had low enough grit to ensure I get a good join.<\/p>\n

\"60<\/a>

I sand-papered it over a larger area than the strap because the glue will spread out beyond the Motor Mount. Increased surface area, increased strength.<\/p>\n

\"Scuffed<\/a>

Then I cleaned the motor mount of dust.<\/p>\n

I wanted to make sure glue did get everywhere I don’t want it, including INSIDE the motor mount. So I’ve taped it well.<\/p>\n

\"Taped<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

Following the instructions on the Araldite, I applied glue to both materials.<\/p>\n

\"Araldite<\/a>
Araldite applied to both the bridle strap cord and the motor mount.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then I brought the two together and used making tape to keep the two together as it dried. The glue job was complete at 16:00. So by tomorrow morning it will be dry. It won’t be at it’s max strength, but it will be enough to start on the other end of the strap.<\/p>\n

I will probably apply more araldite over the cord, below where the centering ring is to be, to get increased bond strength.<\/p>\n
