Repair Butterfly Catch

A handheld rivet tool is quite inexpensive; often comes with small bags of the most usual rivets.
Yeah, just drill out the old rivets, fit the new latch part to catch, drill new holes, attach the latch, rivet, and latch the catch ;)

Yeah I didn't realise until I looked into it!  Literally £5.99 gets me the tool and rivets, and this video explaining what Richard suggested basically steps me through what I need to do.  I'll order the latch this week and the tool and get riveting.  Hopefully my drill can drill out the old latch.
