Recommend me an adhesive

My magnets that run my speedo conversion keep falling of my brake discs, i can't use the holders that come with the kit because they don't fit the wavy discs i got

I used araldite but that obviously didn't work, what would be best?

Blimey mate,
If Araldite didn't work you didn't use it properly. Cos it has always worked long term for me.

I've found Araldite Rapid to be fantastic. One of the ally lugs on the swingarm (that hold on the chainguard) is stuck on using the Rapid version, it's now done a good 5k miles since, and is as solid as a rock. I can't underline the need for good preparation: both surfaces should be slightly roughened, to give a good "key", and be totally grease free (even a fingerprint can make the difference between success and failure).

Drill the disc and put a bolt through, maybe? Assuming the magnets are the same as mine anyway...

I used different magnets for teh Veypor, they were always falling off so I dilled a very shallow hole into the disc, just enough to sit the magnet slightly into. Big difference...

How on earth did you snap a lug in the 1st place?

Ah, yes, cos I'm a numpty . Couldn't get one of the two screws undone, so I used a hammer on the end of the screwdriver and tried to bang/twist it undone, and yes I found out the ally lug didn't like this, cos it fractured and fell off . Still, you've got to learn...

I gave the magnets to TSM as i didn't need them for the wavy discs and magnets are cheap enough off ebay (20x 8mm dia x 3mm = £5.45 )

That might be the way forward
