As far as the loose fitting whistle and mounting bracket, some JB Weld works great. The hardened rubber material is shot, and trying to remove the bracket from the whistle is sure to result in broken metal trying to replace the rubber pad. Pins to hold the brushplate didn't hold, already explained by Mlaughl. You can use a #2 x 1/4" self tap screw to replace the pins with less risk of breaking the mounting post than trying to tap.
