Re: Center Console repair
It's called stop drilling.
Cast Iron, steel, fiberglass, glass, and various plastics will continue to crack without a hole drilled at the end of the crack. The hole prevents the concentration of the spreading force in one place so it's harder for the crack to continue. You can get pieces of metal to melt into and stitch across cracks in plastics and you can get stitches to drive in across cracks in various metals. Here's a google search for cast iron stitching. https://www.google.com/search?q=stitching+cast+iron Here's a guy welding plastics DIY.
