Christmas tree/ cush drive rivets

In the process of changing a knackered clutch side seal , noticed that the rivets on the cush drive inner plate have gone, ( rivets still there but all worn so plate is spinning) . Will it be possible to do a quick tack weld job as a cheap & cheerful repair ? Or can I get the rivets on their own ?

Trying to sort it before Newark , so hurry up with your replies ^_^

Obviously I know I can buy a complete set up , but its my beer money we are talking about here . 8-)

Don't weld, limits clearance, and if the rivets are gone so most likely are the springs.
Buy a repair kit, 2x 3mm drill bits and borrow a pillar drill.
Not a massive job (when you are that far in) but done and sorted.
