One of my bags was missing a bottom half fortunalty the upper half was ok. What I did is go to a thrift store and look through a pile of lady's hand bags they use a similar type snap as the Mk VII you will need several. pry off the top half of the stud(you may need to try this several times until you get a good one) put the new one through the hole and set it witha thin pair of plyers or wire cutters. if your old one is still in good shape you may be able to re set it.
