I bought a used CVT Hardshell RTT. It is the type that you crank it to raise or lower it. Recently two of the four brackets that raise and lower it broke. What would be the best material to glue the metal brackets to the fiberglass shell?

Reach out to the manufacturer. It all depends on the surfaces to bond. My go too (very carefully) is JB Weld. Again, consult the manufacturer first and foremost.
