By using a specific type of glue called plumbers' pipe welding solvent cement, the new part chemically melts and fuses directly to the Dyson plastic body, making it incredibly strong.

Materials Needed:

• A scrap piece of 63mm plastic rainwater downpipe (the curvature perfectly matches the cylindrical Dyson body).
• Plumbers' pipe welding solvent cement.
• A fine-tooth junior hacksaw (or bandsaw) and a hand file (or grinding wheel).

How to Make and Fit It:

1. Cut the Stop Bar: Cut a small rectangle from the 63mm pipe that is exactly 44mm wide and 10mm long. Do not make it longer than 10mm, or the red handle won't be able to lift over it when you actually want to remove the bin for cleaning.
2. Shape the Edges: Use your file or grinding wheel to bevel (ramp) the front leading edge. Keep the back edge perfectly square. The ramp lets the bin slide back on smoothly, while the square edge acts as the stop.
3. Prep the Plastic: Lightly sand the slide track on the Dyson and the bottom of your new plastic piece. Clean both surfaces with rubbing alcohol to remove grease.
4. Glue and Position: Apply a thin layer of solvent cement to both parts. Press the piece onto the slide track. The square stop edge must sit exactly 44mm away from the front edge of the Dyson slide track.
5. Cure: Hold firmly for 60 seconds. Leave it alone for 24 hours to fully cure before putting the vacuum back together.

Why this works: Under normal use, the square edge stops the bin from falling off. But because the piece is only 10mm long, you can still pull firmly to let the red handle flex up and clear the stop when you purposefully want to remove the bin for cleaning!
