1991 240 DL. The brakets that attach the right tail light housing to the vehicle have broken off. Everything else is good but I need to find a way to get the d*mn thing attached. Does anybody know of any kind of a McGyver technique (short of duct tape, which is currently in use)?
I'm checking with the junk shops and will go to e-bay next, but I thought I'd put it out here as well.

Thanks!

    You *may* get it to stay with epoxy. All I can say is good luck. An alternative might be to drill all the way through and use very long screws, but frankly, I think you will have to buy a new light. These are so hard to find in decent shape. I'm always glad when I find one that isn't too trashed.
