Grill posts broken off CS245

I got a nice deal on a CS245 on eBay which arrived today, and it was packed well, but he didn't remove the grill and in transit 3 of the pegs broke off the grill. The 4th one was broken before I bought it.

I am thinking some velcro tabs in the corners. Any other decent ways to fix this? Looks like the grill from my CS175i will fit it, but then I still need to fix it on the CS175i which I am donating to my daughter with some RT25i's.

I remember a thread long time ago. Small drill bit into grill positions for the pegs. Insert short lengths of paperclips into the grill holes and superglue. Then drill the same size hole into the broken pins and superglue them on to the paperclip wire. Supposed to be stronger that the originals.

Okay, thanks for the suggestion, Ken.

I did the same thing for 2 of my SRT's grills, but I used a metal coat hanger. It was a heavier gauge and much harder to cut, but the end result was really good. Either way is still better than the original pegs. Excellent way to repair the pegs.
