For that I made a "chassis" where all the bricks are gonna sit snugly next to each other,
and mount the whole thing on the top tube, like a fuel tank with motorcycles.
I bought some flat bars, adjusted their lengths with an angle grinder, and used DevCon S31 2 Ton Epoxy with 2500 psi (advertised, should be enough anyways) to glue the pieces. (Note that one piece hasn't been glued yet).
I then dropped the glued bars to the floor, and snap they go! Everything back to pieces. The 2-ton caved like nothing :( it fell from no higher than 70cm.
I think I did everything right - sand-papered the surface then wiped it with acetone before applying and let it cure for 10 hours. In fact, even several days later I was able to peel the residues off with a player, so it's not that strong after all.
So me and tony 2-ton will go our separate ways, and I'll bolt the bars like I should have from the start.
