When we do ours, we pop rivet the fittig to the tube. Then it will not come loose. Happy to hear your issue got solved.

Get the dimensions and start looking on the net. They were not made for Chap exclusively. You may not find exactly the match to yours, but you should be able to find ones that will fit your holes.
