Amp head casing splitting at the handle

I was picking up my rig from the venue I was playing yesterday and only noticed when I got home that the casing which the head is mounted in is starting to split at the side handle.

It's bound to fail in time, where might I go looking for a replacement? It's for a Hartke 3500. Might help if I knew the correct name for it for a start.

Harke support is handled by Soundtech in the uk.

If it is this model then note tha the 3500 head is just a rack mount head so I would imagine you can slip it out of the casing and perhaps put a strengthening plate inside the case around the handle ?

Yeah, that's the one. I might go down the patching up route, either a plate or a few metal strips, probably bolted through, as the stuff the casing is made of looks like fibrous mush which probably wouldn't hold a screw.

Or I might just forego it, get a bag for it, lose some of the weight and stop doing Larry's advertising for him :)
