I had a camp chair with a missing rivet, each time you open it the leg comes out and you have to wrestle it back in, usually in the dark or after a few beers. Someone asked to borrow it so I put a new pop rivet in, must've taken me sixty seconds. It had been annoying me for a decade.
just wondering, why not chuck up in the 4 jaw, I think I saw one in the video, and just face off enough material to let the original slide under the carriage......love your videos, Paul in Florida.....
Yup, sure could be done, one consideration was the bolt recess on the stock one is not right in any dimension. Also on my new one I’ll round both opposite corners some day and it will just drop in anywhere. Don’t want to chop the corners on the stock one.

Very nice work. I want to build a steady rest for my lathe.
Funny how when one builds something, you never say later that you wished you had delayed the building/doing……
