I'm pretty sure it's ABS, that's what the majority of computer cases and case parts are made out of. Fairly rigid but brittle, especially after being exposed to lots of UV. I didn't know that Gorilla glue would bond plastic and metal, I would assume that you'd have to use something like JB-Weld or an automotive adhesive. -- [Greg Bennett] -Independent Carpenter, Electrician & Lighting Designer -Purveyor of Classic Apple & Macintosh Gear http://www.hsiprodsvcs.com/ http://www.macshack.us/ -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
