Buy the pipes from chassteam.com and solder them on

And just take real care in not getting solder in the holes when soldering them to the faceplate (where cylinder is).
Best thing is to use something like a nail to align them up

You will need a small blowtorch. Butane fired hobby torch will do.
Some soft solder, make sure you use fairly fine solder or you will end up with solder everywhere.
A good quality flux for soft solder.
After cutting and bending up the pipe work ensure everything is clean and shiney by using fine wet and dray paper on it until it is all cleaned where you want to solder.
Align up all the pipe and clamp in place, fluc and then solder sparingly.
If there is any other soldered parts near where you are working put a small wet cloth on them to stop them desoldering.
If you have never soldered before practice on a bit of scrap pipe and copper sheet until you feel confident enough to do it on your roller.
If you put some photos up of the problem we may be able to help you more.

soft solder tin / lead mix.
The best is fine solid solder but that is getting hard to find so you will have to probably settle for resin core soft solder. I use solder about 1mm in diameter.
In the UK you might not even be able to get tin / lead solder anymore due to EU laws if so settle for what is labeled lead free soft solder.

Hi rough-shunter, welcome to the group - do us a favour mate and try and write a bit more clearly, makes it easier for us to understand what you're after.
There's a couple of guides to soldering on my website, see:

For the nuts and bolts you will probably have to pull out the "allan cap screws" and see what diameter they are, as he may have drilled the holes bigger
Foresteam on ebay sells the rivets, if it's a rivet type model. Otherwise try your local hardware store or fastener place for the right size.
Good luck with it.
Oh, and if you can, try put some pics up, as people here might be able to help a bit more in regard to fixing it.
Cheers
P.S. How to post is in the Forum Frequently asked questions in the General area
