Advice on Porsche Centre cap

I have recently had my fusch rims + centre caps polished and was wanting advice on the best thing to use for sticking the crescent back onto the centre cap.
I was considering using jb weld - would that be fine for this? Am open to any suggestions from the more experienced members of the board

a touch of JB Weld will be fine, pretty much any epoxy glue will do. I'd set it on its face and add a small touch of glue from the back at the post.

Use a self tapping speed nut on the pin. That way you can remove it later if you need to without mucking up the cap.

That's what I did.

No problems.

Thank you for the replies. I have managed to get some of those self tapping speed nuts and will give them a go.
