Powerhouse field coil

Recurring issue with connections between field coils on a 5 brush powerhouse. The copper wire broke twice in the past but I was able to pigtail a repair. This time a wire broke again but I noticed that there was some movement in one of the field coils,flexing the wire. Even though the screws holding the coil are staked the coil will move slightly 1/64 toward or away from the pulley.
I would like to avoid removing the staked screw and use an adhesive between the coil and generator housing. If anyone has had experience with this I would appreciate their advice.
 
Liquid Tape will likely hold it in place. It's like a thin black rubber that tacks up in about 5 minutes so you can apply another coat as needed.

Thanks for the suggestion. My concern is how much heat an adhesive can tolerate . Will try liquid tape. Ken

This rubber based brush-on liquid tape forms a protective, waterproof, UV-resistant, dielectric seal around spliced electrical wire to protect against corrosion, shortages, electrical shock and vibration. The quick-drying fluid cures in 24 hours or less and will not deteriorate or unravel like traditional tape. Resistant to chemicals, solvents, saltwater and other common fluids, your connections will last for years to come. To apply, shake well then use brush built into the cap to liberally brush the liquid over the splice/connection. Allow to dry for 5 minutes and then re-apply if a thicker application is needed. 4 oz. bottle Temp range: -30 to 200 degrees F and -34 to 93 degrees C
