Boot catch repair

Hi finally getting round to posting my work around.
Took it apart and ground the back of the thru rivet off, made a repair plate from thin ally glued it all back together with araldite rapid. After inserting some small screws to streghthen the part ,drilled and tapped the thru rivet and replaced all the parts. Electric boot works , well within the grasp of a competent diyer $$$ saved.
