I thought about it and I would suggest a bit of rebar tie wire (or hay baler wire, same stuff).
You don't need a whole roll of it but a few feet of it might be handy.

You can find it at almost any construction site, just ask and an ironworker will gladly give the last hundred or so feet of the roll he has on his belt. He was just about to change it for a new roll anyhow.

It holds cars together and it fixes broken chairs.
It is the crazy glue of the mechanical world.

It is a haywire world and you need to have some haywire to deal with it!
