    I would make a metal piece of the same shape and design as the plastic bracket with a hole in where the plastic has a fixing hole. then pop rivet or use tiny screws and nuts to fix it to the broken plastic piece. Rivets from the top, through the plastic into the metal piece where it locks in. I would use 1-2mm aluminium sheet, you can buy that from Bunnings for few dollars.
    I would place the aluminium underneath rather than the top of the plastic bracket so that it remains tight against the mud guard. otherwise you get a gap between them.

    double posting because the website is faulty, it tells me that the posting cannot be posted for 30 seconds and when i post again after 30 seconds there are two postings. hope poita fixes that bug soon, it's annoying.

    yeh my solution to the double posting error, is to ignore it but not repost.

    i have a sheet of aluminium sitting in the garage so will try and make something up.

    Would you say an 82° thermostat is better?? My C sits either slightly above 90 or below 90 on the temp gauge unless is a really cold night and im driving on the hwy, then it doesnt move from its starting position.
