Anyone have any ideas on how to repair a missing wing rubber band tie down tab on a PT-19 or does anyone have a good extra wing?

I had a similar problem with my ebay purchase troubles not fully disclosed by the seller Corsair.

The peg that the engine housing attaches to the fuselage was broken off right at the point where the attaching screw ended. I used blue tube plastic glue to reattach it and after a long three day cure time I was amazed about how well it held. My respect for plastic glue grew.

However knowing how tiny that peg is and the stress put upon it, that might not be your answer. Maybe a machine screw cut to size and properly seated?
