I suddenly like this solution a lot more :P
I've just removed one of the other feet, and it screws into the broken
metalwork fine (and, crucially, stays in place). Doesn't feel any weaker
than the other foot (which was 100% intact).
Looks like I just need to get my mitts on a bag of 1in-long M3.5 machine
screws and find the pack of epoxy putty that I know is *somewhere*
around here. Might try the local model shop tomorrow, or failing that I
need to find ?30 worth of stuff to buy from Farnell...
