Center stem modding

[vun]

So, I have a WYSE board that I can't use with anything so I'm trying to at least make use of the keycaps. The caps lock stem is off-center and I've heard it's possible to mod it so the stem is in the center, due to my lack of modding experience I don't want to dive into this so I'm wondering if anyone here knows a good way of centering the stem.

Not the easiest mod to start with.

You will need to cut the stem off cleanly, or get a donor stem from somewhere else. I would use a donor base, too. I kept various parts from several junk boards for projects like these.

The stem can be adhered with epoxy, and you will do well to make a jig out of wood in order to position it correctly. It would be almost essential that you have a proper example to build the jig around, then remove the original and set the new piece into the same setting.

I would set the naked stem in place, apply the wet epoxy, and carefully set the top exactly where you want it.

Perhaps someone else has a better idea.

Any suggestions for an ideal epoxy to use for this application?  Or more specifically, for some hot ABS on ABS action?  That's the one thing, aside from a substantial amount of laziness, which is keeping me from doing the same with my Cherry stepped caps locks and space bars.
