MGB: Vent window frame attachment studs

Has anyone replaced the 2 studs at the bottom of the vent window frame which are used to attach the frame to the door? I have one stud broken off each of my frames. This is for a roadster. is it possible to replace these? I haven't taken a real good look at the assy yet, but it looks like at least one of them might be attached to a plate that is riveted to the frame. Sorry, no photos to help explain right now, but if someone has done this repair, they probably know what I am referring to.

There is a repair kit available for just this issue. The replacement uses small screws with countersunk heads to attach the new piece rather than rivets.

I couldn't find them on the Moss US site but here they are on Moss Europe: http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=7#36

Part numbers 35 & 36.

VERY interested in what you find, Ryan. I have this issue with the L/H vent posts. Please post what you find.

I have been afraid that I'll have to track down a salvage frame as that part is listed as "not available" in every catalog.

Thanks Simon. I will check that out. I am still quite a while away from needing to do the repair, but still good to plan ahead.
