Hi gang - I recently bought my dream Simmons kit from a guy in 
Switzerland, a white on white sdsv ... 3 tom pads and the kick pad 
were in excellent condition but one of the pads was sent to me 
without its original hard shell backing, rather a cheap, less 
expensive acryllic maybe, fiberglass maybe material ... and the damn 
thing cracked during shipping ... I am pretty helpless when it comes 
to repairing and fixing ... can somebody please let me know what my 
options are here? What I'd like to do is have the white batter head 
side moved to a white shell ... is that possible? or have it moved to 
another shell that can be painted white yes? or just glue the crack 
and live with it :-( Thanks guys.

The white one from Ebay a couple of weeks ago? You lucky one, I was
said not getting it (ok, I got an 13 piece SDX kit instead the week
after)...
Sorry I cannot help you, but I just wanted to congratulate ;-)
Good luck for you finding the spare parts
