Campag Record brake shifter

Somehow I have managed to crack the plastic housing just under the hood.

The impact is that when one tries to shift, it dislocates.

2 questions:

1. will super glue be strong enough to hold it in situ
   
2. can you get replacement parts or do i have to buy a whole left shifter/lever ensemble?

1: no
2: yes (well, depending on age), but you really, really, really won't like the price.

Probably better getting a shagged shifter that you can cannibalise for the body. What's the variety of Ergo you have? Which body shape?

Thasnk v much.

It is a 10 speed one. i have seen one on ebay so will offer.

Two part araldite will defo be enough to bond it. I've used it to bond a Vitus back together again (5 years ago) still going big guns! It will probably take 48 hrs to competely cure though. If you can make a small clamp to hold it all together all the better.

Plenty of 2nd Gen. Ergos with knackered shifting on eBay: just swap the guts over.

Whether it can be repaired depends on exactly where it's cracked and how bad it is: worth a go first though.

Yeah, araldite or another epoxy might work, especially if it's a part of the body that only comes under tension when shifting. When I've broken an Ergo body though, it's tended to be around the brake lever pivot - puts too much tension on the repair to be confident in it, especially for something that's a bit safety-critical ...

Swapping the innards over is fiddly but not that hard: it won't need to be a Record body that you cannibalise either. Chorus will definitely work; other lower bodies may depending on exactly which model you've got (2nd/3rd gen).
