MG TD TF 1500 - Brass Headlamps

Courtsey of the Silverstone MG weekend I've now got two pairs of headlamps for my TD. They are the original ones made out of chromium plated brass. (I hate the plated mild steel repro ones- I've seen plating on repro steel bunpers rust whilst they were being stored in the visitors' bedroom.

Priblem is the with three of mine the steel plates that the plith rivets pass through have rusted. Does anyone know where I can get replacements - preferably in thick brass

I have substituted the rivets with those brass screws with a flat round head and a square underneath. Not sure, 4 or 5 mmm metric, same head as the original rivets. Once mounted, nobody can tell the difference. I had them chromed first.
