I managed to get some 4" wide fiberglass ribbon and a small can of
cement for ABS pipe. The cement is basically ABS resin dissolved in
acetone. It seems to stick quite well to the case and soaks nicely
into the glass cloth, so that part of the project looks promising.

On close inspection the cracks are much longer than I realized,
extending from the bottom front of the case where the cleats screw
on forward and upward a couple inches toward the corners. 
That seems rather bad.

Does anybody have suggestions for a reasonable stop drill size?
My first guess would be no smaller than the case thickness, up 
to maybe five or ten times thickness, say somewhere between
one and six millimeters. Does anybody have a better-substantiated
approach to the sizing a stop drill hole?

Thanks to all for writing!
