How to repair broken pickups?

[alexoest]

Hello people

I recently bought a Little'59 and a JB JR. Unfortunately, the outer plastic shells of both pickups have broken off the inner part (the print card, coils, etc). Nothing dramatic, the glue holding the two parts in place just cracked.

Do you have any suggestions how to glue them back again? "Hot glue"? Epoxy? ...and just a few dots of glue, or should I glue the whole edges of the two parts?

Thanks for any advice (especially for good advice ;-)

Before doing any of that, make sure the coil isn't broken (that the pickup still works when you plug into the amp). If the coil is broken, it's time to get a new pickup.
