Williams COupler Problem

John FOGR Forum Member

I recently purchased, second hand several Williams aluminum passenger cars. The cars are beautiful but in the shipping several of the couplers had come loose. Two snapped back into place but two did not. What is the best way to reattach them? Is there some kind of metal glue that works well? Epoxy?

Thanks. John F

J B Weld, available at Lowes, auto parts stores and hardware stores, is often first choice of many for use on metal. I have been quite pleased with it.

Agreed....if there is enough surface area on the two parts JB will work well. JB is just a good HD epoxy.
