Are there certain types of caps that are compatible, or is that a stupid question? Are model m caps an easy replacement?

So I decided, in all of my infinite wisdom, to powder coat the barrel plates of my IBM Model F AT. Turns out, at 400 degree Fahrenheit, the stabilizer clips melt into tiny blobs pretty quickly.

Is there any coming back from this?

My options, as I see them now ...
