The steel washer that the magnet attracts is levelled with epoxy and screwed in position. There is a piece of Gorilla tape stuck to the magnet to reduce the strong magnetic attraction to the washer.
The ABS plastic base is attached to the ashtray using acetone which gave the strongest bond to the parts.
