Club Car ABS Plastic is easy to repair with standard ABS Plastic Welding Rod. Its fast, inexpensive and super easy. If you already have a adjustable temperature soldering iron you don't need any special welding equipment either. Moments after your done welding your ready for sanding and finishing. Best!
@@GlennsSpeedShop To be fair it is and art like gas welding aluminum. For a quick fix you may find you get better results with an iron over a hot air welder. With hot air its harder to control distortion when doing a large repair. Overheat the weld and you em-brittle things while too cold and you won't get good toes. Keep trying since once you ace the process its a wonderful skill to have in your arsenal. Best!
I just bought a used gas DS. The front cowl is completely smashed and missing 40% of it. I wish I could find a used one because new they’re $560. Ouch!
You are correct. It was broke. I plated it and drilled and tapped the bracket for the plate as I held it in place with a ratchet strap. Good observation!
That's a pretty big challenge fixing that body and matching it to the crooked frame. You're doing a good job.
Saw you used the heat gun and what a difference it made in the front left corner of my cart. Thanks for the video. Inspired

I have been experimenting with that for a while, so fat I don't like the strength. There are abs adhesive methods to try also.

File off some plastic where not noticeable, then mix fing dust with superglue and quickly patch crack.
I am going to buy Plastiweld, a simular product I think. Specific for ABS to fix up my Citicar Electric Car.
Joe dirt does RUclips 😂
Get a level it's hard to tell if it's camera or cart a level helps
Even Stevie Wonder can see why it’s not sitting straight!
OK Stevie, tell us all why it's crooked... I know as I repaired it...
@@GlennsSpeedShop the bracket on the right at the top looks broken or bent downward.

@@GlennsSpeedShop as soon as you removed the nose of the cart I could see the problem.
After hearing text instead of Torx I knew it wasn’t going to be good. Then watching a guy with his own lift tighten not loosen a nut. Hmmm.
can you show us where old style cowl spacers go? i have an 88 and see the part listed, but dont see where they go. Club Car DS - Cowl Spacer (1982-up)
I guess I don't have any... don't know. I just did another video where I put in led headlights and had it back off. . No spacers..
@GlennsSpeedShop I don't either. Someone told me. The spacers go between the frame and cowl at the front roof support mounting points.
Should that be an old style bumper and mount from the top, with the cowl holes?
Yep
