I took right hand corner out of fairing. First pic showing missing part wont load. After a bit of thought ,, i looked at a plastic bin and went for it. I cut both sides the same and then chopped bin down to fit. With a little help with Duck Tape . I then wire meshed the inside,, just melting mesh into plastic with soldering iron. The wee gap on outside face , mixed some fibre glass resin and hardner and ran it into the seam. Then a wee bit of rubbing down and some spraying and to me looks ok. Tested to see how it flex's and theres quite a bit,, as the good old plastic bin was flexable and thinner plastic. So now to get it all back together again.
