The main issue is that if I glue the old hands on top of the stumps of the old ones, the combined "hand" may be too thick on the shaft, so that the other hands do not fit. OTOH I don't need the "alarm-set" hand and at a pinch, could do without the "seconds-sweep" hand. So it may work even with the extra thickness, if I just use two hands.

I think I will have a go.
