That material is flexible yet stiff. Might be a tough job to patch and It will probably look like a patch job too. Here's a link for repro's for 500 for a pair for red ones.

red wells

Thanks, I'm familiar with the repros. I have a few sets of originals, and this is in nice condition, minus the hole. The hole is somewhat hidden, so I may cut a rectangle out, then plastic weld a new piece in.
Just wondering if anyone else has been successful doing so.

Or if anyone has a junk red well for the plastic..
thx

You know it's only gonna be a matter of time before someone figures out how to do these with a 3D printer, might be the way to get a patch panel also. Do you have a university close? All the colleges with an engineering program have 3D printers now, and the students are always looking for a project. Just a thought
