I broke a rod around 10 years ago and talked to my Grandfather about
and he gave me a kinda mold. I put the rod parts in it put a laquer
like stuff. if filled in all the cracks and after few days made the 2
one again. It worked great and I still use the rod. Try a few repaire
shops I also know of people wraping 4/0 thread around the brakes and
then glue but it may not feel the same.
