Possible to fix broken fuel door clip?

Just curious if I could exopy something onto it. The door is fine, but the the clip used for the release button broke off. Thanks!

You might try JB Weld epoxy. I've used it to repair things and it's pretty tough stuff. Can't hurt to try it. Be sure to clean and rough-up the surface to ensure a solid bond.

There's no clip there which is the problem. IDK, maybe I exopy a piece of wood with a hole in it...

JB Weld comes in a putty that you can mold into the shape you need. Then you can drill the hole for the locking pin after it cures.
