Congrats Mike !

That lump just oozes quality, will be looking forward to see i hooked up to the 50.


As far as gluing in the magnets, i would simply use an oldschool solvent based contact cement/contact glue.
Spead a thin layer on both surfaces. let it sit for 5 minutes to pre-cure, and press the surfaces firmly together for a minute or so. Then let it sit until next day...and Bobīs your uncle  :)
Itīs way better than any epoxy based glue i know of for this specific purpose, since it doesnīt form a completely fixed assembly, as most epoxyglues tend to do when fully hardened , but a slightly flexible one that will accept a pretty serious amount of vibrations.
I know this for a fact, after repairing/restoring quite a few fixed magnet starters on smaller combustion engines. Never had one drop a magnet after this treatment.
Cheers
Jan
