well, theirs a couple ways, but the easiest are to get it plastic welded, or to drill holes on each side of the crack and stitch it up with zip ties.

you can call some places, or do it yourself with a plastic welder.

Do it yourself with just an ordinary soldering iron. Just push them together and swipe the iron back and forth til it starts to melt together. Do this all the way down to the bottom of the crack. Once you finished you should have some sort of troth. Find some old broken plastic pieces you might have, and melt them down to till in that spot and it will add strength. My buddy howard is a pro that this and if done right will last a very long time.
