I had the same problem with araldite - I used that metal epoxy that looks like araldite at it has held so far for about 200 miles

Did you drill into the flange in order to recess the magnet a bit. Done this with one recently and it got araldited in solidly (and got a coating of
glue over the top of the magent also. I recon a nuclear expolsion wouldnt shift that little bugger now!!

But it might de-magnetise it!

Aralditing over the top? It stuck to the sensor pretty well still, and is giving a signal pushing the car about on the drive so seems fine. Not sure
how its meant to de-magnetise a magnet really.

Yup - another vote for Araldite, and a smear over the top, 2000 miles no probs.... and stuck it straight to the paint on the prop.
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Managed to get my sensor to pick up on the propshaft bolts , if you try this make sure the bolt heads are all in the same position or it cause a
speedo fluctuation.

B&Q's own 'araldite' is good enough.

To add extra strength I have put small cable ties around each end of the magnet and glued them in too.
