I use a twin chamber epoxy resin/araldite. I could claim a freebie glue pack off of Alex, but it doesn't seem worth it unless I order something else.
It's a game of three halves!

As far as I remember you have a Mk1  SL-X with the Mk2 clamps.  This needs a straight forward metal to carbon bond so any twin pack epoxy/acrylic resin will do or tradesmans no-nails.

Give us a call and we can send some out if you need it, no problem.

Yes any of those adhesives will do the job. When gluing the new clamps on apply to both the inside of the clamps housing and the section ends. This will ensure a good bond.
