If the slot has not broken into two parts you can take JB Weld and 'paint' the entire outer surface of the slot cylinder then wrap it with a twist-tie until 24 hours when the Weld will be solid. Remove the excess twist-tie and slide it onto the post. I wouldn't reccommend gluing the dial to the metal post. You don't need to do that. The JB Weld will make an O-ring style clamp on the cylinder.

You can use a very thng strip of metal to 'fill out' the inner core of the cylinder if the inside is worn down and the fit is loose ont he post. Or you can wrap a layer of tinfoil on the post and push the cylinder down onto the post after the Weld has dried good ... allow 24 hours before using the glued piece.

If the cylinder has broken into two or more pieces, glue the pieces back with a touch of super glue on the separation surfaces, wrap the cylinder with a twist-tie, onece around, until it is solidly glued, then do the JB Weld wrap of the outside of the cylinder but you don't need to use the twist-tie for holding while setting.

Thanks!

I’ll try to figure this out. Need to drive down to Kanab to get the J-B Weld.
