Default Spotlamp Repair

I am putting a 49 EL back together after 25 long years of neglect and abuse. One of the guide spotlamps has a broken bracket. This is the one that is riveted to the shell. And its not that it is cracked or broken and I have the pieces to fix it. It needs a new bracket. Anyone have a reliable source for fixing this?

It can be riveted back on if not cracked.Many platers take these apart during their process.Find yourself someone in the airline industry to get you the rivets.
