POLYURETHANE ADHESIVE/SEALANT

As above, anyone got a nearly empty tube that I can have to fix my speedo magnets after I had to move them for IVA and the used adhesive only lasted about 15 miles on the road, My tube has gone off now and I need so little there isn't much point buying a whole tube for the small amount that i need.

Thanks

Hmmm interesting thought guys, that I hadn't had I've got both so will give it a go when the engine is back in, raising and controlling the gearbox

IIRC I used superglue to stick my magnets on as well. Did me for 3k miles and then another 2 owners (I lost track of the car after that).

Didn't bother with tie wraps.

Araldite worked for me used the long cure for extra strength and just tapped them in place until it went off. Araldite can deal with surface imperfections better than superglue but the superglue gel will probably work as well.

Metal epoxy worked for me in fact any of the epoxy 2 part glued should work.

Another vote for metal epoxy. Mine is JB Welded and been on for years.
