man, i can't even understand what you're saying anymore in this thread. too many technical terms for the mechanically handicapped such as myself. but it's good to hear you're still viewing it as a fun and worthwhile project, rather than having lost interest as many very well may have done by this point.
it's awesome that you started with little more than a broken bike, a manual and a desire to learn. i hope these last few speed bumps are minor ones for you, so you can get that baby back together and move in with your girl. good luck.

Oh, those rubberbands are gone and there is now a mount holding that top little nubbin to the frame where those 3 holes are.

Thats some crazy looking damage to that housing. Looks like it must've been chewed up by rats or some other kind of rodent. As for closing up the holes you'll probably have to make yourself some kind of custom plastic pieces to cover/fill the holes and use some sort of epoxy designed for a plastic repair to bond them in place and seal it up good. With a little creativity you should be able to fix it up pretty nicely. Just search "plastic repair" to find all kinds of glues/epoxies designed for plastics. They make them for all types of applications. The trick will be finding some nice chunks of plastic to custom fit into or over the holes.
BTW- its been fun following this thread.
