Rebel XT Mode Dial broke off how can I fix it?

[Coloradokev]

Hello,

My Rebel XT Mode Dial broke off - how can I fix it? I saw somewhere that someone used a sticky, non-hardening auto gasket adhesive but unfortunately I did not bookmark the page.

In addition to a recommended adhesive/glue type,  I also need to find out how to match the mode knob setting image with the mode setting shaft so that I "glue" the knob to the  mode shaft correctly (so that the mode symbol is the correct one)

" I have a few older Sigma lenses, and I haven't encountered any obvious incompatibilities - yet."

Well, I have a lot of lenses.  All ages.  I don't generally have any of the cheap third party lenses, whether they work or not they are not worth the effort to even try.  But the ones I do have work OK.  Especially the SIgma models.  Tamron and Tokina may have a lens or two that don't work.  Just the very old usually film models, not any of the newer ones.

My mode cover fell off and I cannot find the identical match on Amazon I have a Canon EOS Rebel Sport XTI. 

Can anyone help me?

Look for a broken camera being sold for parts on eBay.

Follow kvbarkley's advice.  Its going to take some hunting and luck to find parts for a camera this old

Two other excellent used camera dealers are UsedPhotoPro.com and MPB.com. 

Your Digital Rebel XT is a CROP-SENSOR camera that uses Canon EF or EF-S lenses, or equivalents from other makers. If you get a FULL-FRAME body, it will only take EF lenses, NOT EF-S.
