Thanks Ron and Chuck. I carefully drilled off most rivet head on inside of plug with like a 3/16 bit. With a pliers I was able to lift up what was left of rivet head and then I pushed out by hand with correct size punch. When I reassembled I pushed original rivets back in with slip joint pliers and used a center punch to carefully flare rivet head (what was left of it) back out. The brass is soft so it doesn't take much and I followed Ron's suggestion and was careful with bakelite. Then I put drop of super glue down on head to help secure rivet to bakelite. It's not as strong as original but for my needs it should be ok. Bill
