 'Yesterday my snowblower's plastic headlight casing finally gave up the
ghost.  After 12 years of vibration the mounting boss on the bottom of
the case finally cracked all the way through its attachment point at the
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"'.  >
