Default Featherweight bobbin winder issue

I got my second Featherweight recently. It joins my first, a black 1950 model, 3
301's (all mocha, 2 short bed and 1 long bed), and my grandmother's 1928 66-6
(plus various non-Singers).

The new one is a 1948 model and it is a repaint. A lovely purple metallic. I
know many don't care for repainting a FW, but judging by the condition of the
case, it was probably cosmetically challenged. It was a great deal and came
complete, runs beautifully, and it makes me smile to look at it.

One issue, the bobbin winder wheel comes off and is almost impossible to wind a
bobbin. It looks like they took it apart to paint the arm. Anone suggestions to
get it to stay together? Would a bit of JB Weld work? Thanks for any help.
