[Boatanchors] Need glue recommendation for ceramic switch

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

Was the original piece held in place with small rivets?

If so you could replace the rivet with a very small bolt and nut, or you 
could insert a piece of wire through or in plave of the rivet and solder on 
both sides.
