See if you can insert a tube, or put a tube on the outside to match
the O.D. of the flange so you can make a good stiff joint there -
unless the circuit board doesn't extend up that far, in which case
some flex there would be a great idea.  Been years since I've been
inside one, I've forgotten.  Last one I did was a terrifically
over-engineered one for Malcolm Stebbins while I was in the middle of
coming apart myself.  Photos here:
