    Mounting plate? Do you mean the binding post plate? If so, I'd probably go with the gorilla super glue.

    I'm sorry. I meant tweeter mounting plate on RTA 12B. It was damaged in shipping. It looks to be some kind of composite plastic.

    Maybe a picture of what you're talking about would help.

    Go advanced and click the paper clip (attachments), then upload the pic. It will magically appear. Because it's magic. :cheesygrin:

    Well, my first choice would probably be old style model glue because that stuff actually fuses the plastic. However, I probably still go with something like the impact-resistant version of gorilla super glue. But that's not much material to work with. I don't have that speaker to be able to see how hard it would be to fashion a new pair of plate out of delrin or something, so maybe someone else will chime in. And you can always give the wanted area a shot and see if someone has one from a pair of 12bs that died or that was parted out.
