[Mailman] Early MG TD Hubs

[gunnellj tds.net]

The "hot rod" TD I am working on has the early brake drums with removable
hubs that have been removed so that a machine shop could get a stuck
bearing out.

The short, slotted tapered-head screws that hold the hubs to the drum are
all messed up and one appears to have snapped off leaving a piece of the
screw stuck in the hole. The other screws have messy slots and threads and
it really doesn't make sense to re-use them. I haven't seen replacements
anywhere.

Can I just have a shop drill the holes clean and attach the hubs with steel
rivets?

Any other suggestions?
