Superglue the mofo back together. I remember in the 80's adverts Superglue stuck bits of rubber bands together and matey boy had it on parallel bars and merrily bounced his arse about to his hearts content. I'm confident it would more that stand up to glueing a bit of glass together.
Packaging pah i say ! was ordering Taylor leads and noticed it was gonna cost me a tenner to have them sent ?but then perhaps they come very well packaged, guess i"ll just have to wonder .
