510 repair advice please

[kermitthefog]

This may seem a trifling matter but the 510 on my beloved tan mod has come loose. It's still working fine but is distinctly wobbly when any kind of tank is screwed in.
What is my best solution for this? Is it as simple as some superglue or is there anything better suited to getting it stuck back to the wood.
I just want to do it right, so any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

Check for a nut inside the mod, it may have worked loose, failing that Araldite is your friend...

Thanks for the speedy reply. Initially i did remove the internal cover just to see if there was anything obvious but will take another look and if I can't see anything then off to the DIY store I go

Personally, if you want to do it properly, I'd de-solder it, remove it and remove any glue residue if it's glued in. If there's a Nut, as Mr Tubbs said just tighten it back up.

Thanks for the input @ax.
I took it apart again earlier and no nut, so no quick fix sadly.
It just appears to be a smooth hard plastic tube which can be pushed out easily, which I did. Weirdly there doesn't appear to be any glue residue either under the fat daddy lip, so not sure how, or if, it was ever secured in the first place.
So guessing the araldite solution is the best option now?

Aye, bit of epoxy and you'll be good.
