Cobra 142 broken microphone jack

Hi all,
Hope someone can give me ideas on how to fix this microphone receptacle. It is actually snapped plastic on the radio front panel which the microphone jack should be housed on. I was thinking plastic epoxy and a clamp but this is a one shot attempt after it's all glued up.

Superglue . . . of course . . .

Then, get a very thin, flat washer that has a wider face that can distribute more holding force over a wider surface between the jack plug and housing. The trick is to find/use the right washer.

Hey thanks Rob. Are you suggesting to place the washer over the finished surface or the sub-surface? originally the mount was on the sub-surface (cracked section) and the stem protruded through the finished surface.
