I went another way with attaching the plates back though. I used aluminum nut certs installed into the body and then 6-32 stainless button head screws.
They look like pop-rivets if you don't look closely or if you forgot your reading glasses and they remove really easily that way.
The old guys will never focus enough to see the differences.
