You probably already found one.
I would use some super glue to fix yours.
I do have a uncracked one

Before I get ahead of myself. Is this really a plastic H2 headlight bucket. The inside number was different than another one I saw. This may be a S3??

Yes mine has a 1 inch crack and figured I'd look for one first before trying to repair. Finding one along with price is the factor for buying one.

Thanks

Does yours match my number? NOS H2 head light rim fits perfect.

I have a plastic one on my late 72. I'm planning on taking it off and using a correct steel one. Need
to see if I have the correct trim ring for the later bucket. I have 2 early trim rings, one is NOS but
it's pitted from years of improper storage. My early plastic bucket will be for sale if I swap them out
and I will post here.

I have a perfect later 72 bucket getting powder coated now just for the heck of it. I called California triples who said he had a perfect plastic one for $85 so I bought it. A week later I opened the box to find a perfect metal one with a note saying "After further review I don't have a plastic headlight bucket only this metal one" At first I was pissed but then I figured lesson learned...never again Cal Trip. :banghead A plastic H2 NOS bucket in it's package was on ebay by seller Millanbike last month starting at $100. Someone contacted him asap and bought it for $250 I found it late after checking past sales on ebay. I used Tenax-7R plastic welder on my 1" crack and it seems to work ok so far.
