So is there something suitable for bonding hard plastic to metal (and a
very skinny bit of hard plastic) which allows you to slide the two bits
together, reposition to get them absolutely aligned, then hold together
for a bit whilst it sets?

Sounds like a perfect application for quick setting epoxy a.k.a. "1 min
epoxy" - Epoxy resin/Polymercaptan hardener. Loctite makes it and I'm
sure plenty others do, too. It has no problem gluing metal to plastic
and once cured, becomes super strong and impact resistant, unlike
brittle superglue. Sets in 1 min - gives you plenty of time to position
the bits and reaches max strength in 5-10 mins. There's also 5 minute
epoxy which sets in, well, 5 minutes and max strength in 1 hr.

Good luck!

Thanks :-)

Although the superglue is only a temporary measure before a connector is
fixed permanently on, a more robust solution does have its attractions.
