[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 475632, member: 7379"] That's exactly what Araldite is, and usually I swear by it as the stuff's excellent. Sadly however on this occasion it let me down :-(. I think the contact point was just too small to allow proper bonding. Thanks everyone for your advice. It sounds like the paperclip method is favourite so far, but as speculated above, I doubt I have a drill bit that thin, as IG's arms are very skinny. I'll hunt around to see if I can find anything else to make a hole that small. Maybe as Ian says, trying to force a needle in might work. And of course once the pin is in position, then hopefully Araldite will hold it :-) In the meantime, if anyone else has any inspiration, please speak up, and I'll post pictures of my success or otherwise once I've given it a try.
