Its held on by Rivets. Look around the frames. use a larde drill bit to drill out the heads or use a dremel

That explains it!
I would assume that the rivets would be generic and quite easy to replace.

Yep, drill old ones out, and replace with new. Easy job.
If you can't find pop rivets with the large heads like original, just use a large washer under a smaller pop rivet :thumb
