Super glue is terrible stuff. Gorilla glue is way better. But, what you need is J+B weld (use the original, not the 5 min, it's stronger). Needs 24 hours to get to max strength. Then paint over. You could reinforce it with sheet metal, galvanize or aluminum. You could use some misc plastic thin sheet, also.
........Also, Ace used (?) to sell a clear 2 part epoxy that might work - maybe, not as strong as J+B.
......If all that fails........you could haunt thrift stores until that model rolls in. or check their website. Good luck!
