Yep, spigot to the bottom (tip) of the original handle. New piece gets thicker
from there to the shoulder at the handle. Because of the shoulder the new piece
can not move relative to the spigot so, in theory, the glue line will hold. Even
if the glue fails everything should stay together because the mating pieces were
a drive fit.
