Fix for broken 18th FW190 wheels- opinions?

I don't know if 2 part epoxy will hold with the nub that broke off each wheel- magically; I didn't even touch the plane.....I found an old box of insulation support wires and the diameter seems about right and they're rigid enough. I would have to just sand off the remaining pins, cut a 3/4 or so length of it and try the epoxy with that

the short tits broke- if the epoxy doesn't hold the two, I will probably zzzz-wheel straight across the edge and epoxy a length of the rod in the cutout
