Jb weld did mine 10 years ago. I reckon any decent epoxy will do the trick, just clean everything well first

I thought the brass tube was loose to enable positioning the jet, by swivelling it.
If you hold the brass tube then reposition the hose then it holds it in the position.
If I’m wrong then I need to recrimp mine into place??
