The easiest way would be to replace the bonnet, but from my experience they are becoming scarce in good order.

I have a couple of scrap bonnets; I'd need to remind myself how the two pins attach to the inner skin of the bonnet, but if either of mine are good enough, I could cut that area out and provide it as a repair panel to be let into your's for a less straightforward remedy...
