It is not clear from your pictures but it seems you could replace those "rods" with some kind of rivets.
Could you measure the diameter and length with a calipers?
Also, are switses easily removable with rocker covers attached?
If so, you could use blind pop rivets to reinstall them; if not maybe hollow soft rivet that you crimp with pliers.
See McMaster-Carr to learn and order rivets or other suitable hardware.
Local hardware store might've them as wall.
I am not surprised this is not in SM as factory would buy switches...
Good luck.
Thanks for the guidance. I found these hollow end rivets on the McMaster-Carr website. Perhaps one of these may do the job. The HTML page uses a frame set so the link I provided won't take one directly to the page for hollow end rivets. (For folks searching for the rivets, click the link above and then click "rivets" and then look for "hollow-end rivets.")
Here's a screen capture of their hollow-end rivet offerings. It looks like 3 diameters (9/64" 3/16" and 1/4") are offered. Hopefully, one of these fits the diameter McIntosh used.
