How easy is it to take apart the upper & lower halves of an ATTEX body? I've read somae places where they were suposedly glued together. What kind of stapler does one use to put the black bumper back on?
Thanks,

Has anyone had experience with the different types of plastic welders on the market, if so what do you think is the best ? |

E.L.Mckenney.....what kind of plastic is your atv body made of? If the body is made of ABS plastic like an older Attex, don't waist your time. I purchased an expensive welder and puts litterly rolls of plastic on my Attex 400 Chief. I like to ride the machine in the woods and mud so when I was finished, the holes ripped open the first day out in the woods. I repaired the holes and cracks again but they still did not take. If yo have a polyethelene body I hear they are much easier to repair..good luck...jkemp22 |

All of the literature says that a MAX is made of HDPE and supposedly welding is the only repair method, no chemical welding methods anyway. I will let you know how it works out. |

j kemp, you need to grind back beond the repairs you did with heat gun and fix the abs with liquid abs per discutions no doubt arkived as restoration off older vehicls under attex and amphacat, also ask roadwolf, joel haslet, mike abbey, gary in vermont, ect ect..heet is bad for abs, it chemicly chainges it each time it's heated it is weakend,(burnt) heet welding IS the only good way to repair polyetheline so you did not waist the money, you can use it on a moderen aatv, :-) |
