I'm Dominic.
For the catch lever, just use a M2.5mm cap head bolt of suitable length. As for the plate rivets you could affix the plates with double sided tape and re use the old rivets for asthetics. I do have suitable rivets, but they are not easy to affix, being made from nickel bronze, they are very hard and an arbor press is needed for fitting.
I can offer this service if needed.
Thanks for the advice Dom. I'll probably use similar bolts + double sided sticky tape to fix the face plates in place, I must admit its been a long day and I didnt think about double sided sticky tape

If you want to do it properly, looks like you could do it for £100 for the tools..
http://www.pinrestore.com/Riveting.html
above tells you what you need (or you buy their kit - or find the stuff in the UK) and arbor presses start from £40 for 1/2 ton and £55 for a 1 ton press.
Audio Grail's ebay auctions show that they have the correct size dies and do it themselves.
Seeing as Audio Grail's 301 restorations fetch near £2000 a time, you could restore just one and sell on (at a lower price probably than Audio Grail - they have reputation!) and that will pay for your tools for your own.. (ultrasonic cleaning bath, arbor press and rivetting dies, respray etc etc - no profit for your first I'm sure but will likely cover costs if you can show your progress fully to any potential buyer).

Just use a pop rivet gun.
Kuzma Stabi/S 12", (LP12-bastard) DC motor and optical tacho psu, Benz LP, Paradise (phonostage). MB-Pro, Brooklyn dac and psu, Bruno Putzeys balanced pre, mod86p dual mono amps, Yamaha NS1000m
Something like this would probably do the job

Hi, Loricraft/Garrard use a bifurcated flat head rivet, which pushes in easily, holds the plate and looks correct. Why not give them a call I'm sure they would send yo a few
