Replace rubber feet on eastman case

I bought a used Eastman fiberglass case which is overall in solid shape, but is missing two of the rubber feet on the long side. The feet appear to be riveted on through the fiberglass, so I don't think I could just find replacement rubber and attach them back on easily. I'm considering buying new feet, drilling out new holes through the side of the case, then attaching the feet with nuts and bolts. Any advice or ideas here?

Should work well. Inexpensive. Fast. Perhaps 10-32 screw, washer, nut. Done.

Yup. Only tweak I would say is drill out the rivets and use the same hole.

Cheers,
