Five year old Lamona electric oven

One of the control knobs has split along the shaft so won't turn the
control.

I ordered a replacement and it turns out to be one digit higher part
number because the old one is obsolete.
It isn't a tight fit and so although it turns the control the mark on
the side of the knob goes just past where it should be (in whichever
direction it is travelling).

So ideally I would like to do something which will make the fit a little
more snug without damaging the new knob or preventing me removing it
later.

Apart from cling film over the shaft, any other suggestions?

I do still have the old knob with the split shaft.

It looks possible to DIY a fix with glue down the plastic bit then
something to crimp it tight such as a couple of small cable ties.

I went for the replacement knob as the easy option (!) but it is now
looking as if a repair might be at least as good.

Any recommendations for a good glue to do this?

ISTR Araldite was good but needed baking in an oven.


Whatever adhesive, it needs to allow me a little fumble time to get a
couple of small cable ties in place.

Or perhaps a very small jubilee clip?

Diameter of the shaft is about 12mm.
