On my rather old tube of 'regular' Araldite it says it is ok for
metal.

If this is so then why would I ever use one of those 2-part adhesives
sold specially for metal? I mean the sort of thing that is usually
coloured grey and can often be bought in car accessory shops?

When you say 'tube' of Araldite - do you mean 'tubes' ? AFAIK all Araldite
is 2-part.

I need to glue an aluminium ring (about 1.5 inches diameter and about
4mm thick) to a plastic base. There will be some light to moderate
stressing of this arrangement when it is in use.

I figured the Araldite was just fine for the plastic but what about
the metal?

The plastic might cause more trouble than the aluminium.
