just ordered some to do mine.
Even if it's not, sounds like a good opportunity to do it yourself. I haven't done one in years, but Devcon used to be the go-to for bedding - It may still be. Don't forget the Kiwi.
JB Weld might work, but I think you'd be better off with plastic steel putty. Definitely more expensive than JB Weld, but it does better with plastics. Whatever you do, make sure to rough up the surfaces that come in contact with the glue with some coarse sandpaper before application. The problem with gluing most plastic parts is that glues don't like to stick to them very well.
If you can, I'd definitely recommend putting a bolt down into the center of the joint (one that you can hand-tighten into the free piece should do the trick). You can clip the head off of the bolt and then just screw it down into the hole with a little of the putty around the edges.
Finally, perhaps now is the time to go get a plastic welder. Tack the pieces together with a soldering iron, make sure you have the right rod, and go to town (after you've practiced getting a good bead). That will be stronger than pretty much any glue you can get, and usually ends up stronger than the original part.
