short term cable ties
Long term GD do a repair for free with bolts but you need to pay postage to them @ £10-15 and they post back for free

Araldite and a couple of cable ties

Mine has been "repaired" like that for about a year and half now. Works perfectly. I repaired it halfway up a climb in Machynlleth with just zipties, no araldite. Job's a good un.

I'd just cable tie it, maybe a spot of JB weld. Then when it needs a service send it back for repair and it comes back like new.

I posted mine back to the US and they fixed it for free. Plus they offer a rebuild for $18, which is great.

When that happened with mine GD fixed it with the 4 screws but I had to pay $18 (£12) for a service. This was s
around 2 months ago. Postage out to the States was £20ish with insurance. Once it got to GD they turned it around in 2 days, but I was without it for a fortnight. They didn't charge for return postage.
