Isn't it annoying when your models get damaged especially when you don't know when, how or who did it.

Something has happened to the rear brake hose on the Suzuki Cursing

Dude that sucks. No idea how it happened? I have always wanted to display my stuff at my work but too many chances for people to mess with them. Would be afraid something like this would happen.

Its in the house so really only family around. I suspect someone has lifted up and the Paddock Stand has caught the cable.

I'm thinking a dab of superglue might do the trick but if anyone has any better ideas....

A great looking bit of kit but not knowing the bike or kit, I'm not sure what is wrong...
A bit more info and a few more pics and maybe help will be forthcoming.

You could try a 0.3mm drill and put a small metal peg in to give more support and meat for the glue to grab onto

You could try superglue but I think the best long term solution would be what Andy has suggested previously.

Thanks Andy and Al

I'll give that idea a go. Probably be the weekend before I get a chance to look at it - I'll update how I get on.
