Locktite Epoxy Plastic Bonder will do the job.  You can google it and
see details. They specifically list nylon plastic for this adhesive.
Be sure to rough it up and follow directions. Flashing it with a torch
before bonding is a good idea if not required.

How about one of those lock washers with the serrated edges, as there
still seems to be over half of the diameter to 'grab' on to.
