Have any pictures to go along with this?
Sounds like a clever solution.
Here are pics of both side of the gear. Notice I keep the epoxy out of the gear teeth and only on the sides. The JB Weld Kwik set was pretty easy to work with. I mixed it 1:1 resin and hardener and mixed it with a tooth pick. Kept mixing until it started to "set" a little bit and then simply applied it the gear being held together in a vice with rubber jaws.
Obviously did one side of the gear and let it set for several hours. I did help it with apply a hair dryer for extra heat a couple of times. Flipped the gear over and roughed up and appled the epoxy to the other side. You don't have to be real precision with how thick the epoxy is because where the gear is there is plenty of room on both sides for clearance.
Biggest issues is keeping the gear teeth clean of epoxy. I did hot both sides with a file to knock off the high spots. Don't know if that was really necessary.
Be careful in reaming out the center hole. It need a decent interference fit to grip the SS shaft to properly work. So don't go too far. My little reamer was .121 dia. and gave a good snug fit. But it was less snug that factory press fit.
This "fixed" gear is located below the black spur gear on the right side of the trip odometer in the fully assembled pic.
