i don't believe they can be economically repaired and even if it could be it is unlikely to be reliably usable on a road car. They were a very expensive item back in the day costing Jaguar £8/17/7 each but the design was flawed hence Jaguar supplied brass replacements after 3.8 production stopped. Best option is to buy one of the modern Marston replica's from Fosseway or Radtec. Not cheap but superbly made and very few people could tell the difference. They even supply the correct Marston tag or you could transfer your original over.
