I know an aircraft A&P that fixed a torn center bearing support using a two-part jet fuel tank sealer. The material is extremely tough and remains flexible - unfortunately not sure us mere mortals could easily get our hands on such exotic and presumably spendy materials. However, I'm wondering if it would be possible to emulate that repair with polyurethane or maybe silicone on a new part to serve as a reinforcement that might make the cheap Chinese stuff servicable.
