OK, What do you do when this happens?

Can this plastic piece be replaced? (Seems like a bad place for plastic if you ask me. But Ludwig didn't.)
The pins the piece mounts on are staked in, so the only way I see to remove them is to drill them out, thus ruining them. I guess they can be replaced with an appropriate sized machine screw and nut.
Or, is it just not worth the trouble?
Bought that HH new in 1965, so I'm just a little reluctant to say goodbye to an old friend.
I have another identical Spur-Lok (that one has a black plastic piece) so it's not that I'm now without a HH.
I think the ONLY appropriate place for plastic on a drum kit is the part we pound on with hard wood sticks....Ironic, ain't it?...lol
