[Boatanchors] IF transformers

[Paul Kraemer]

Anyone had any experience repairing the K tran style if transformers like 
used in HQ-100 and many others?
This is in reference to the riveted plate affair in the bottom that forms 
the capacitors needed to resonate the windings.
I have one that the assembly is loose. I don't see an effective way to 
tighten the rivet.
My gut says Dremel it out and replace with two sm caps the correct value but 
would rather excercise a little caution and ask if someone else had the same 
experience and how they corrected it.
Thanks in advance
