Check the Racing Beat site for Devcon plastic steel putty. Works great.

The ends of my aux ports are made of Devcon Plastic Steel Putty. Good stuff.

If you don't trust Devcon, you can also have a good welder fix it; not applying to much heat the housing won't warp or get stressed. I have done it and it wasn't a problem...

Welding or brazind dont work. We try that. The only fix for the problem was Marine Tek.
