Sand inside both ends of the broken rods lighty and wipe with alchohol. Lightly sand the repair piece and also wash with alchohol.

Use a slow cure epoxy ( minimum 30 minute and longer is better) and apply it to the inside of the rod (both broken pieces) and the outside of the repair plug. Then put together. Let it cure well for a few days. Fill in the slight crack with the same epoxy and sand smooth and paint. If you want , you can wrap over it with A thread to make you feel more secure but its probably ok without the wrap.
