Bad news Steve. JB Weld doesn't work well on that type of plastic. It might work for you but it didn't work for me. I took a Plastic elbow with 1/4" pipe threads on one side and a serrated end on the other, screwed the threaded side into the original housing, pushed a piece of clear tubing on the serrated end and then had a flexible hose that proved very useful in filling my 1 gallon water jugs and saved me about $38.00. I used it for seven years and only purchased the replacement faucet when I had a buyer for my Westy. I also installed a tiny neon light to tell me when the pump was getting power so I didn't twist that handle completely off waiting for water to make a showing. Oh! By the way the little elbow leaked, but it leaked into the sink so what's the dif?. A little Teflon tape would have filled the gaps and stopped the leak but it leaked into the sink so what's the dif? I just never put that tape on it.
