Shoot, had this glued back together, then broke it off again. No where to be found.

Anybody got a spare they’re willing to part with?

Chet, just a suggestion. Cut the other one off and use a couple of straight pins. They'll look more realistic. That's what I done with this one, amongst others.😊

Excellent suggestion Gene, thanks! 

Gorgeous GTO, by the way.

@geno What a coincidence Geno, I did the same thing to my 1/1 ‘65 Goat but I used a coat hanger!

@cprust You're most certainly welcome.  And thank you. I just used my pin vise and drilled out the base, a dab of super glue, done. I also done the wheel/tire change too.😊

I too have done this many times and it works beautifully. I've also done it with 1/43 scale but with smaller straight pins.
