Fixing a broken Tube

I broke the plastic guide post on the bottom of a KT88.
Any suggestions on fixing?
I was thinking crazyglue. Any issues with heat?
Thank you,
TD

No it’s not. tonydennison OP Look very closely make sure no1 pin goes in no1 hole and put in back in without the guide post, and leave it be, it will sound exactly the same and not cause trouble. Cheers George

No problem just orient it where the guide post was and put it in you don't really need the guide post. Do not toss the tube it's fine.
