Well, thank you. I've used the same method to repair broken handles too.
They are indeed bolted on plates. Look real close at the pic and you'll see 4 circles on the top face, one in each corner. Each one is similar to a bolt, with a shoulder that bridges both the compound and the new plate like a locating pin. The "head" is a really tight fit, like an inlay. Cut long, tightened with pliers and then hacksawed off flush, finished with a flycutter.
