Less Than A Week To Fix This

Hey all,

I have a trip to CO coming up in 6 days and my bike is broken. There is a small metal mating surface on the rear right dropout that has broken out and now the wheel skews and rubs on the frame.
I have fashioned a replacement and have tried Super Glue and a Loctite Epoxy that sets in about 6min, is ok to handle in 20 and cures fully in 24 hours. We neither will hold the piece in place. I used a chrome washer with a ton of dremel work and the frame is carbon fiber.

What type of glue/adhesive would you use?

I have been getting this bike ready for this trip for a bit. New wheel, seat, bars, stem, large chainring, chain, rear derailleur and cassette. I would hate to not be able to bring it with me. The idea of renting a bike sounds like a hassle and expensive. The bike manufacturer is sending me a new frame but it won't arrive for a few days and it will be really hard for me to get it taken apart and rebuilt, not to mention expensive, before I leave.

Help?

(It would be easier to help if I could post pics but I have to go on a posting binge to get above 10 posts apparently. )
