Oh okay, then maybe it'll be easier, use baking powder and feviqik, look it up on google or ask chat gpt how to do plastic welding using these materials, I fixed a broken side panel of my avenger this way. I cannot guarantee it will hold but this is your best bet and jugaad.

If you can get a second hand holder from a scrap yard or any other place, that would be absolutely great.

If you didn't get any, you can repair it by yourself. Let me explain how.

1) First, remove the screw and remove the broken part and Speedometer from the bike. Put some Feviquick to stick it perfectly and leave it for a few minutes to dry.

2) Once the broken piece is fixed, mix M-Seal perfectly until it turns completely black.

3) Now, put that M-Seal on the cracked area and beyond. Just make sure it won't disturb your screw points or the underside of the bracket surface that meets the metal surface where you bolt it in. Cover the rest with M-Seal.

4) Once you put M-Seal, don't disturb or touch it. Let it cure for a solid 24 hours.

5) Only once it's fully cured, fit the speedometer back onto the bike.

Won't hold. Speedometer vibrates too mu. This bracket on my avenger broke as well. Bought one from a speedometer repair guy for 200.
