" DAMN EPOXY-RESIN !!! "
Well, the 'captive-nuts' (Mmm) fell off, in the 2nd try as well ...
...& yes, it is quality epoxy, mixed properly, dried for an eternity, on very clean placky.
I have to say, I was pretty surprised by this !
I was about to drill a pair of holes to fix the reversing-switch...
...& ruin the 'slick' look of the new M.M.M handset...
...when I thought *&%£?$<+!* !!!


So I did try #3 !!! 
Don't ask me what the 'theory' behind this is...
...but I washed over the plastic with MEK till it was very wet & melted...
...left it to dry for ages...
...then did the epoxy again, as before.
It seems to be on this time...
...I think/hope.

The handset moulding has a hint of 'metalicy' stuff in it...
...graphite finish, I think OKW call it...
...maybe something to do with the glue problems ?
I dunno, innit !

Si :
If your nuts don't hold (?) how about reversing the bolts on your rocker switch & passing them out through the back of your moon-buggy box ?. Run a nut up snug to the underside of the rear casing, pop the casing over the protruding threads then run another nut on from outside.
Or am I driving you nuts ?

Just roughing up the plastic might have done the trick. Give the epoxy something to grab hold of.
Then again, might be a nutty idea.

Shouldn't that be :
"...you're just nudging me further off my rocker ..SWITCH ! " ?
