I looked at the mudguards after a good clean.
Failing to find any decent solvent-based adhesive that would work, I made a plastic weld of the thin outer surface to tack it together in position, then used hot-melt glue to fix a splint to the inside of the cracked area.
Rear Shimano XT axle, cones and balls replaced with new, since the old ones were pitted, and the axle bent.
Rest of the assembly went all OK.
