David you will have to find a teflon adhesive but they are a pain to use. I don't know of any local sources (there must be) but this mob in the states make something. Also consider teflon tapes with adhesive already applied.

Thanks Mark, I had read that super glue works but I can't see how as PTFE tends to seal off carbon bonding in a molecular level.
I may just have to drill/countersink and screw it on.
