Aluminum to Steel
 
Aluminum shift knob (that I like) with a crappy plastic shim so it fits
generic shift levers. The plastic is not holding up, so I want to hit the
hardware store for a nut that I can grind / shape to fit inside the shift
knob. Any suggestions on joining the nut to the inside of the knob so that
it stays put? I figured an epoxy will work, any other suggestions? Any
favorable epoxies to look for?

cyanoacrylate should do it (superglue).

JB Weld. http://jbweld.net

If you want it to absoultly stay put, notch the nut with a dremmel
or roughen it up with a file. But get it straight cause there isn't
any re-do once that stuff sets.

JB weld. Leave some clearance to allow the goop to properly wet both
inner and outer surfaces.
