Plastic front fender 1976 DT175C was created by Aldonova
Hi all, can anyone tell me what the plastic is on a 1976 DT175C front fender(high plastic not low metal) is made of. Is it ABS, PE or some other type. I picked up 2 76’ DT 175C’s and am working on making 1 rideable bike. The current bike fender where it’s bolted up to the fender mount is cracked where the bolt goes thru and there’s a small gap along part of the crack. I’d like to either fill the gap and repair the crack possibly with a plastic welder or some filler if there is one that works but I can’t find any info on what those plastic stock fenders were made of. Wanted to post a photo but the site isn’t allowing it at this time

I'm not 100% sure on the 1976 175 fender but I know Yamaha used ABS for fenders and side covers in the 1970's.

It is important to change your brake shoes for
Safety reasons 30 yr old shoes can and will delaminate and it’s not fun if it happens
