iMac g3 handle replacement

Hi guys, when I bought my iMac g3 in graphite the handle came snapped (as seen in the photo). It has stayed like this for about 2 years now (how long I have owned the iMac) but it will not stop bothering me. I would love for the handle to look nice at something like vcf (vintage computer fest). If you guys have any good recommendations of where to buy a replacement handle, please comment bellow.

with thanks,

The back shell is a single part the handle is glued onto the shell. You'll need to fully tear the iMac apart to get it off. Give this a view iMac G3 Model M5521 Teardown that gets you mostly there the last step is taking the CRT out four more screws. Finding a replacement shell will be hard.

Have you tried using a fast-drying, ultra-strong cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for durable repairs on materials like plastic, that is what I would do.
