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!
