The mounting ears are not likely to bend, the gauge of sheet metal they used in the mounting bracket is fairly thick and the length is maybe 1/4'' at most. The ears on wafer sockets are just two layers of sheet phenolic plastic and they seem to hold up, if anything the terminals pull out of the socket before the rivets will pull through. Just copy the way Philco mounted the socket and everything should work out.
Regards
Arran
