Wouldn't like to have my trigger wheel come off the pulley at 7,000 RPM ! I made sure mine was well secured. Can't help with the stuff you
have but would suggest asking your local car paint suppliers , they are likely to stock proper Sikaflex. Got my last tube from Unipart

A good Pu from any paint or car spares place.
I would in no way use it as the only faster for the trigger wheel 
When dry it has some give like rubber not hard like epoxy.

The grade of Sikaflex normally used for bonding panels is 221.

I would only use PU on stuff that when it falls off is not likely to kill anyone

mines definitely getting welded then

Give the boys at MAC1 a ring re the sikaflex.
I phoned them on a Thursday afternoon, and the tubes arrived on a Friday morning!
Top product, top service.

I'm only using to stick some perspex round here
 
Description
and then the outer body panels fit on over that
and then door covers over that
its only really to stop things (money, house keys, body parts ) falling out the sides since the sills on the body work doesn't go all the way
under the car
so looking at the data sheets, i think sikabond at will do the job well. it seems to have the same properties, and as far as i can tell, is almost
identical for what i need it to do. i'm not using it to stick any panels on which will be subject to a battering from wind or anything like cycle
wings for example.
at universal seems ideally suited to flooring, but still has the same elasticity and sticking properties

The stuff you have there is clearly made by sika, and is
an adheasive/sealer but from the datasheets above it doesnt apprear to be polyuerthene (PU) based.
- However, whether is does the job as well is upto somone else!

A trigger wheel is going to be spinning about itself, and won't have enough potential energy to do any real harm. If it was really heavy maybe,
but even then it wouldn't go very far, probably just drop off and land in the road.

Looks like this stuff.
on the left page 10 i think
Or this which it says is PU hybrid high strength sealer/adhesive
[url=http://www.sika.co.uk/uk-home/uk-con/uk_construction-builders-merchants/uk_construction-adhesives-sealant-fillers.htm]Fifth one down
Most SIKA sealer /adhesive stuff sticks like poo to a blanket I'm sure this will be fine. try it on a bit of scrap first and see.

If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

^ looks like a 'new improved' sika flex then?
i don't know..
having looked at the data sheets, i think its more than up to the job since its only 1/4 the price of the stuff from Merlin i'm going to
use it

Being as your on an Island, try your local marine dealer for Sikaflex.

Dream on. Anything letting go at even 3,000 RPM can cause an awful lot of damage/injury I have seen fan blades exit a bonnet before and it's
scary whet damage they can do . A trigger wheel coming loose after being put on with Sikaflex will come loose from one point on its circumference and
fly off at a tangent . I for one would not like to be in the firing line!

How much does this trigger wheel weigh, then?
I daresay standing in its path would not be a good idea, but that's a hell of a far cry from it bursting through a bonnet and then seriously
damaging a bystander, which is the scenario described earlier.
In any case, the comparison with a fan blade is seriously flawed, as each blade is laready some distance from the centre of rotation, a vital
component of the centripetal force, whereas, as I said earlier, the trigger wheel would be spinning around its own centre.
