Your lucky still to have the weight and do you trust the glue to hold it?? If it were me i'd drill a hole in it and then puddle weld it to the
shaft and dress back flat so the weight was the same again
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

yea weld it back on, a tack each end will do it or puddle weld, either way
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Fortunately the prop didn't let go - just a weight came of.
Did notice this morning that the prop adaptor at the front had come loose as well!

check EVERYTHING we found gearbox mounting had no bolts left ,
bellhousing-gearbox stripped 3out of 4 bolts,
bellhousing-engine only had 3 bolts left in it and front gearbox oil seal missing all in the space of half a lap.
yes the tunnel was reinforced so the prop diddnt do to much damage
