How to patch the plastic engine cover on my riding lawn mower
Subject line says it all. I have a 2002 Craftsman riding lawnmower. I really like it except for the plastic engine cover. Damn thing is made out of brittle plastic and I am rough on the mower. Last time I broke it, 5 years ago, a new cover set me back around $160. Now the same cover is $505!! So what I need is some way to patch the places where the broken plastic has left a gaping hole about 3 inches across. Also need to patch up the cracked areas. My first thought is just to use fiberglass and patch it like a rust hole, but maybe there is something better to use? Is there something like a plastic patch? Here is a picture of the $505 part:
