Having not been able to source any ebonite bits and given the prices of sheet material, I've decided to try the superglue approach. There is a Loctite product by the number of 480 that contains rubber particles and is suitable for some types of rubber and phenolic materials. With having the rubber particles contained it can cope with a little filling of the joint, so hopefully it will do the job. As a bonus it's black in colour although whether it will cause any whitening around the joint I don't know.

I'll report back once I've received the adhesive and tried it.
