So a 4-5 years after I took the frontclam off I found this.

When I try to press them together I have to use a little force and the whole clam kind of bends outwards. 

What do you think, is it just to clean the surfaces and glue them together or is it some kind of adjustment I can/should make to the fitment of the clam first?

Well, that was what I was told when I asked on Facebook too so I guess I dare to go that simple road. Thanks a lot.

Drill a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it spreading furher and reinforce with fibreglass from behind.
