Does anyone have advice on doing this? I just got a Combifire 1, and the handle ( looks just like the one on the #4 too) is fried, cracked and will soon fall off. It was installed (or re-installed) upside down (pointing up) which put the plastic heat guard dangerously close to the iron face of the stove. Looks like it came near to burning several times. Replacement plastic handle guards are still available at woodmans, but not the little hollow "rivets" that fasten the stainless steel "stirrup" to the cast iron. Any advice or tips on doing this are most welcome.
