VMC 44

I picked one up yesterday.  Its great except when I opened the big door the top hinge post was missing so it came off top first and sheared the screws off the bottom hinge where it attached to the body of the machine.  the screws broke flush to the machine body so i had to drill them out.  Now my question is what to use to replace them,  I think they are called binding posts but not sure.  Anybody have any idea what I should use so it looks like the other hinge?

Any help appreciated, Thanks

sorry can't take a pic right now not at machine location...

I ordered mine from

the only binding posts I could find were lightweight aluminum. Would that be strong enough?
