Default 2008 Precedent seat hinge repair?

My '08 Precedent has a loose seat because the battery tub has broken where the seat hinge tabs go into it.

I bought some hinge repair plates (they look like this: https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-k3a3...095147.jpg?c=2).

But, now that I have them, I don't know quite what to do with them. Are they supposed to slot over the edge of the broken battery tub?

I'm assuming I'm supposed to rivet them in place -- need to buy some rivets and a rivet gun.

I have done some searches, and you'd think there'd be some photos of these installed or a YouTube video or something, but I haven't had any luck.

Anyone have any pointers?

Here is one that works on eBay. Another member, McJefe put me on to these and he has used them. Better hurry, it says only one left.

That's similar or the same as what I got -- I'm just hoping for an actual installation pic or tips.

Here you go. I used self tapping screws instead of pop rivets.

Just to reply to myself on this, I bought a couple of hinge repair plates like this:

I had to drill out the rivets on some existing metal brackets on the battery tub:



That was the hardest part. I then, as suggested above, installed the repair brackets with self-piercing screws. I can always rivet them in place later if desired.

Next project: bypassing the OBC and installing Allied lithium batteries.
