Sounds like a plug for speakers, either the front pair or rear.  The
wires are probably green and green with stripes?

I think you might have better results with an epoxy.  I'm also glad you
are considering this to be temporary, as you should be able to find
replacements at the scrappers sooner or later.

Since it is so temporary (and not knowing the nature of your breakage),
you might want to support the glued joints with little mending straps
bolted to each side of the seam.  That might even be enough to get you
through the winter without any messy experiments with adhesives.
