You could add a plate and instead of altering both sides and the split nut just remove the amount of material from the support block that is the same thickness of the plate. If you are capable of doing that much, you should be able to make a block from scratch. :-)
I'm also skeptical about the glue but delrin is in the description. The other last thought is to call Legacy and see if they have a replacement part. It's highly unlikely for many reasons, but it's worth a try. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon Khoury" <blkhou...@gmail.com> To: <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2013 4:34 PM Subject: Re: Ooops... Thanks for the ideas. I've come up with several more. I like the reinforcement screw idea, but also considered a hose clamp to wrap around an provide support. I haven't checked to see if one would fit, but I don't think it would be as effective as the screw. I thought about using a washer or even a thin metal plate underneath to provide support, but I think that would require a plate on the opposite end and alterations to the split number attachment to the sled. I think the washer could work, but it would have to be small enough to sit in the opening of the rail and maybe a stack of washers would be needed to reach the middle cross section the of the rail. As for the loctite epoxy, it states that it is not for use on non-stick surfaces like polypropylene, polyethylene, or Teflon. I'm not sure, but I believe delrin falls into the same category as polyethylene/polypropylene. I do work with both polyethylene and polypropylene often and, though it is "non stick", I have found that some epoxys will hold fairly well if the surface of the plastic is scuffed or roughed up. There isn't anyway for me to rough up the surface inside this crack, but I think it may have a rough enough surface for some epoxy to hold, as long as it is coupled with some other support mechanism.
