I've done the same on mine. The cover was worn out more at the bottom of the slot than at the top, so I took a file and squared off the slot again. Then I took some modestly thick sheet metal (a little thinner than pictured above, perhaps a little less wear on my cover?) and cut it into long rectangles. As wide as the pins are long. Then I wrapped that around the pins, and cut to length. The stick fits in snugly now, and there's practically no slop at all. Good for another couple of decades of use. After which I'll probably just need to file the slot square again and make a thicker shim.
