well i have a tendency for cable ties and screws until i can get the part in. I carry a small drill to pop holes in frames ( metal or plastic ) to fix screws or ties to keep shit in place.
there is a product out there ..2 stage powder / glue to refix ABS and other tough plastics.. you can even tap or file the shape needed ( teeth of a gear..or tab of plastic.
but mainly i keep track of parts that fail... rob good ones of dead assemblies... screws ...sm plates.. gears..switches.
