Ian, Greg here in Australia. I have recently helped a friend with the replacement of the 3 spring fittings in one of his Chummy lights. Before this he had pop rivets holding the whole thing together. He was actually overtaken by the lense and cover whilst driving the car along the road. Simply picked it up and replaced the glass, it suffered no other damage than the glass!
I simply found 3 springs suitable and using 1mm brass I made holders, using the existing fittings in the other light as samples. His lights are polished brass, (I could solder the inside without destroying the paint job) which made the job easier. I measured and marked the positions and soldered the new fittings in place. Once we test fitted the lights, we simply repolished the light.
