First of all it is very hard to tell you how to do it without seeing the parts.. are they small or larger spiders ( it will make a difference in how you repair them) also since you say vintage I would ask you if this is going to be just show or are you actually going to run it? I'm in Michigan, not sure where you are located but would be more than happy to help if you can get me some more details. Pics would even help since we may be a ways apart..
