I'd go with the 2-part epoxy, maybe even JB Weld

What ever ya choose, you are relying on a mechanical bond. So, cross-hatch-sand the the bonding areas thoroughly. No shiny surfaces! Dont forget about CA as well. |

You might give this a try. I've used it on all kinds of plastic and metal. Cures instantly! I've drilled, tapped, filed and painted it. Even patched a hole in a plastic radiator tank with it. $14.00 on ebay. Can be a challenge to work with, but the results have been worth it.
