In the UK, dichloromethane (same stuff) is sold under the brand name 
'Plastic Weld', It is _by far_ the best way of mending plastics that it will
disolve. And I think DEC front panel toggles fit into that category.

That said, trying to glue the pivot pins back on to the toggle is going
to be (IMHO) a waste of time. The area is just so small. Personally, I would
drill through the toggle (make sure it's in the exact right direction) and put 
a metal pin through.
