Detail parts

I would go for a dab of epoxy. JB Kwik or any 5 minute should be strong enough.  CA might work if both surfaces are flat enough.

If it has any kind of a spruce on it with a bit of length. Find a die that’s close and put some threads on it.  Secure it with a nut. Just crank it up snug. You can even make your own nut with a piece of brass stock and a tap. Just give it a slight bend so you can move it tight with your finger. This would give you sort of a fender washer. I’ve done a few caboose stacks this way.

Thanks for the info.  I think using an epoxy will work best for my situation since I trimmed off the spruce and ground down the mounting bracket to fit the curvature of the hood.  Does anyone know of a good product for filling any gaps?  This way there is no visible seem or uneven gaps between the hood and bracket.

Pardon my ignorance, but what the heck is a spruce?

It’s probably a malaprop for sprue

Like a stem.

Sorry. Spell check must of got me. Sprue. I guess that’s what they are called. Most brass castings have them. Not seen but will aid in mounting with drilled hole. Sometimes you can get enough of a thread cut on it if it’s decent sized and eliminate using and adhesive.

Nice evergreen tree. Gets pretty big. We have one in our back yard, about 50 feet high when we bought the house 37 years ago. Top 12 feet fell in a storm. Next 10 feet keeled over after being hit by lightning. Still growing, though.
