3.  Any other ideas out there?????????????????

Short pop rivit?

Or, for that matter, short regular rivit, made from something soft, like
copper or aluminum?

Could you use the existing holes, and get an extra-long foot rail, and
drill a new hole in that to fit the old hole?

Or some other kind of adapter plate?
