I have had success tightening up loose ones on the 51J receiver using vice grips with some washers on either side to prevent marring the aluminum.

Has anyone tried to replace or reinstall those little studs that the tube compartment cover plate slide fasterners are supposed to engage? I have some that are missing & one that detached when working out the bent metal case. Of course, I'd like to remedy this. Is there a source for those little pieces, and I wonder if anyone has had success at it before I go off & perhaps try to reinvent a wheel.
