Well you aussies have Google?
Its one of those two component glues.

I will stick with Loctite 603, i have stuff that is meant to secure bearings, that should be realy nasty stuff and should hold...

JB weld is a 2 part epoxy and is one of the most widely known here in the US. There are tons of different 2 part epoxies around here. I think there are a lot better ones out there but some are just worthless. I have had good luck with some of the stick epoxies that you kneed together but it wouldn't be right for this application.

603 is a good, there are really a ton of different compounds that will fit this application there are ones for bearings (like the 603) and ones for loose or worn out bearings (really) I think the tolerence on that was .025" (.5mm). You can find this stuff at industrial bearing suppliers, but look up what you want first, because most might not have it in stock and they will try to sell you "something close".
