It's my understanding that the interior caps are ABS. If so, true ABS glue (not all-purpose) is readily available at a big box store. ABS glue will fuse the plastic rather than just adhere to it --big difference!

This is probably true. The only problems I have hit is that the only true ABS cement I could find was black pipe cement. It does work real well for repairs to the grill.

And then there is cheap trick #32...
Wet some fiber glass cloth with the ABS cement and get it laid in fast as the working time is real short. I have had places where the glued joint rebroke on a slightly different path and this trick stopped it.
