    Araldite is pretty damn good, as long as the surfaces are clean of grime and particularly grease/oil, it should hold them pretty well.
    Long setting time araldite holds stronger than the short setting time stuff too.

    Buy some "rear view mirror glue" from your auto parts shop. There's enough high strength two-part glue in this packet to do what you need to do. Its very strong, takes about 1 hour to harden. Should be happy with metal-to metal instead of metal-to-glass.

    Call a motor rewind outfit and ask what they use. Agree araldite won't like the heat.
    Would also look at Three Bond, Wurth and Sika websites and see if they Have any suggestions.

    Cheers

    None have failed yet.
