I have a damaged Z32 MAF. One of the bolt tabs broke off in shipping. I have the part and I want to reattach it. What type of glue, epoxy, or other product should I use?

It doesn't look like the tube is cracked at all?

I'd probably forget about the tab and use some rtv around the outer edge of the ring to seal it to the airbox.

I just don't want it to look all hacked up.

You can use an epoxy putty to build up an area behind the tab, but since the bolt is pulling the tab the other way, it will have very little strength.

To make it look "nice" you could put a ring of the putty the whole way around the tube and bevel it out to the flange. Once it dries, paint it black.

Just get some plastic weld.
