Selmer 9 Full Boehm rattle

My Selmer 9 Full Boehm from the 60s started to rattle. Two of the LH pinky keys operate the pads throgh a mechanism which has a pin on the end of the lever which fits a hole on the rocker arm crossing to the RH side. From age, the pins are no longer a snug fit in the holes and started to rattle. I wrapped then in a small piece of polythene sheet cut from a bag and that (a) makes the fit snugger and (b) eliminates the metal-to-metal contact. It no longer rattles, but I wondered if anyone has a more elegant suggestion
