I've got 2-84 Bronco 2s and have been looking to replace the grill in the one I drive most as someone in it's past has managed to break several of the tabs holding it to the body. It seems as if there are a lot of lazy folks out there that didn't want to take the time to take the turn signal light assemblies out to access the screws behind them for the lower 2 tabs on the grill, so all the grills I have found so far have these snapped off. I've found a nearly perfect grill on an 85, but you guessed it, it has the tabs snapped off. :(
Has anyone tried gluing these back on and if so what has been your experience with doing so? I am wondering what sort of glue one might use to accomplish this task. I was thinking model glue, but it has been quite awhile since I have seen any sold anywhere.

I would try J.B. Weld. You can glue tabs on solid and if you cover the holes it's no big deal because you can drill the holes out when it cures. That stuff is rock solid
