Seiko 7s26 rotor repair questions/ superglue off-gassing

Hi everyone, I have a seiko skx231 with the 7s26 movement. I believe it has never been serviced, and the rotor broke away from the bearing in the case. I found in my spare parts I had another rotor with the same issue. It is my understanding these rotors are press fit, but when I press them in gently with a jewelers hammer and small metal bar they do not seem sufficiently retained. I add a small bead of super-glue around the rim on the bottom of the rotor and then gently pressed the bearing in. The bearing still spins freely but is firmly held in place. I was going to use naptha to swab off the excess super-glue. However before I reinstall I read that you should never use superglue on watches as it off gases with in the case and will impart a coating on everything.

Now bare in mind this a cheap watch I found on the street, I'm just looking for a quick fix to get it going again. Do you think if I let the superglue dry for a sufficient amount of time before installing it will be okay? If not what should I use as an alternative, and are there any widely available consumer products I can use? The only reddit post I could find describing this issue just said to replace the rotor or movement. Thanks for any help.

Also just to note I am a professional repair person in other disciplines, strictly an amateur for watches.

Will using vintage flashes with PC socket on DLSR cause damage?

I have quite a few vintage flashes, and I am well aware that using these with the hotshoe with any camera with flash interfacing will fry the electronics because it will send the entire discharge through the hotshoe contacts. Is the same true using the PC socket? I would think the manufacturers would isolate the PC socket, but is this the sort of thing where it's just better safe than sorry. Cameras in question are 50d and 5dmkII.

Does anybody else think the Quinn sockets are better than Icon?

The Icon ratchets are better no doubt, and I know the Icon sockets are slightly thinner and stronger, but in day to day use the difference is minimal, and Quinn sockets hold up fine for professional use in my experience. For me the Hi-Vis stripe is just a killer feature, it makes them so much easier to organize and differentiate from other sockets. Also since I primarily work on-site, I think the Quinn cases are better, where as the Icon cases feel more just like a presentation box as you're intended to store the sockets in the foam inserts in a tool box.

I have an '08 SV650, I'm look at a fuel tank for sale for a 03-06 650N, from what I can tell they look the exact same but is there any difference I should be aware of?

I just got a new bike I’ve been working on and it’s nearly ready for inspection but unfortunately the tank is pretty much shot. I’m going to order a new one but it will take a while and I’ll have to paint it too, and the bikes fine like this for the immediate future.
