I tap the four holes with a 8-24 tap and use stainless screws to hold the plate on. The tap will bottom out so the last few threads are not cut completely so the screws will lock in place when tightened up.

I know this is late because you already have the cover off. When I removed mine I just used a sharp chisel under the head of the rivet and it popped right out. Replaced the rivets in the same hole they came out of . Had to hammer them back in so think they will stay in place.
