But you can only use a semi-tubular rivet if part of the old holding pin is still sticking out. If you managed to break it off flush, then I think I'd just drill it out and use a Double Capped Screw Rivet in there -- you could put that in with your fingers and a little thread lock. That would be really easy to do. Personally, I always like to take the easy fix if possible. And if it's at least partially half-ass, that's all the better.
