Re previous post:
Ok having looked at it more carefully I have managed to seperate the 2
parts (also better images below) It is off a Kirby vacuum shampoo
water tank, it is an on/off `valve`
My thoughts are to insert a couple of pins (dovetail layout) to
support whatever epoxy will stick to the plastic and fill the void at
the bottom left hand image.
There is no reason to have to disassemble this part later on so a
permanent fix I am hoping for.

Any further thoughts welcome?

Ah.

NOW I see what is going on.

Is the shaht solid? If it is here is what I would do.

Remove the other lug.

Fill the entire top of the knob with car body filler.

When set drill through it and into the plastic shaft of the other bit
and put a couple of small self taps in.




No the shaft isnt solid, but I could either fill the shaft with a dowel
of some sort or maybe a resin and then put a self tap in.
