If you mean the rear tab, JB Weld is fantastic.
I wish I had remembered it when I lost a clone or two...

What is JB Weld and where can you get it?

It's a 2 part adhesive. Squirt a dab outta each tube and mix. You have manufactured metal in no time. Don't eat it though. It hurts coming out.

JB Weld is a great product. It works wonders on the heat sink clip.

JB weld is a type of epoxy. I would imagine that any sort of 2 part epoxy would do the trick. I would not recommend any sort of super glue or stuff like that, brittle glues would snap just as easily as the tab. Flexible glue like epoxies will be able to move a little without breaking.

jbweld is epoxy with metal powder mixed in. if you need to glue metal to metal or anything to metal it is the shizzle. it also glues plastic to plastic or really anything to anything

also if your rear wheels are slipping off the axle put some jb in there(just a little bit) and it will not slip again.

the only drawback is it takes about 6hours to dry. also it has to be mixed really well and should be a consistant grey color.

i payed 3 or 4 bucks for it at home depot but any hardware store will carry it.
