Good repair!
In the past when bean counters did not run the car industry most plastic outlets had a metal ring reinforcement. Could you have plastic welded the crack? I prefer to do that as there is no chance of glue flaking off.
Its good to see you like to make repairs better than new!
The plastic is very thin, welding would not be very strong, adding a metal ring inside the plastic tube provides a lot of strength in this area where the boot clamp is tightened down on the plastic tube. The liquid plastic I used bonds chemically with the plastic.
