Lowes etc. have nylon screws and nuts, I never liked to add any more metal inside or thru the case.
I made a similar fix to a PB 180. The lower case housing has sunken holes for the screws. The bottom of it had broken so there was no where for the screw to press against. I got a large thin washer and counter sunk the hole. Then I put a long countersunk screw through the washer, through the lower housing and into the threaded insert in the upper housing. It is thin enough to clear a desktop because of the feet. It isn't pretty either but it's on the bottom so it's easy to forget it's there.
