Just thought I would share a fix I did on the No Fear mountain.

The right side mounting hole was broken off. Someone had used a twist tie to secure it

Bought some $.99 molding clay and shaped it to what I thought would work.
I had some golf club shafting epoxy left over, so just mixed some of that up and poured it in the mold.
Stuck the broken side into the epoxy and let it set overnight.
Used the conical attachment on the Dremel to smooth the edges.
Broke out the air brush and used my extremely limited artistic abilities to add some rock-ness.
Gave the whole thing a quick Varathane.
Installed it

Not perfect, but for me it beats paying $40 for a new one.
