You gave me a flashback to when I was flat stoney broke and the arm of my specs was too.. I ended up stripping the plastic off one of the plastic coated wire bag ties that come with kitchen tidy/freezer bags and using that wire, threading it through both parts and twisting it until it was tight enough to hold.

That sounds like an excellent stop gap. Thank you. 💖
