After looking at the corner on a M70, there is no way that can be the donor. I will come up with something......

At least that corner isn't totally load bearing. Do you remember that Sharp GF-8989 I repaired that had the crushed corner where the handle attached? That sucked.

I know you got this! :-D

I'm almost thinking of putting an internal metal corner like yours and fill in the busted section with epoxy. Something that might be a little flexible but something I can shape/grind/sand.

polished aluminum ALWAYS looks cool ANYWHERE --
so cut 2 identical corner pieces -
stick them on BOTH corners -so both sides match --
just put them on with double-stick tape --as a test

I agree Ira, if I was going to leave the case alone and not repair/paint it, putting nice matching corner caps would be enough to burry the damage. If my corner repair works, then the time will be worth it to paint it up nice.

Hardmen, I have 1/2 of 1 M90 ;-)

I used auto Bondo on mine, worked well, but I made a few mistakes. Probably rushed it a little and ended up with a tiny hairline in the paint. Nothing structural and you can only see it up close.

^ I was thinking there really won't be a way to reinforce the corner enough to keep it from moving and making a crack in the bondo/filler/paint. Tempature alone can effect how these materials will react with eachother. I will have a thin steel inside corner to keep it ridged. I'm hoping to take a playdoh cast of on of my good M90 corners, let it harden, and use that cast to fill in the missing section of this one using 2 part epoxy putty.

I love this 3M product for plastic repair. I repaired a 1"x1" hole at the back corner of one of my 9696 that was damaged in shipping.
