Simple question. I got new plastics for my Centaur. How do I get these metal posts into the new plastics? They look like they were pressed in.

I chose the soldering iron method. While it does push the melted plastic though, I like that the posts are part of the new plastic. To cover up the melted area I'll just use a small washer.

One thing I'd like to note is how these CPR plastics are off center unlike the originals. I do like the mirror finish on the studs though. Should look nice when back lit.
