The two things I never liked about my case were the original buttons (already replaced) and the horrible horrible case feet.
They’re plastic and look really tacky imo.
Eurgh.
Tacky, tacky, Tacky.
I can see why they used them at the time, but they really don’t suit the rest of the case.
So, I’ve changed them 
I couldn’t find anyone who had them in stock so I bought some from ebay. They were a little messy even though they were described as new, they weren’t.
I found some metal cleaner and decided to give it a go. The one on the left has had the cleaner applied on the top, they one on the right had a small spot on the top with it applied.
It made a huge difference. Once I’d finished the wheels were all shiny once again, although my hands were covered in black stuff.
When I removed the feet I noticed there were 4 small holes around the opening for the feet to attach through.
So what turned out to be a more difficult mod (measuring, re-measuring) The two inner holes matched perfectly for where the wheels were to be mounted.
All I had to do was to drill them a little larger and they’d be good to go.
I drilled all eight holes out and mounted the wheels using trusty old nuts and bolts.

All that remains is to cut the bolts back to a shorter length (I’ve decided to do this when the grill arrives). They are still much shorter than the wheels though so the case can still move around.
And that was that. The wheels were on, and rolling around

Rear wheels.
And that was that. No more dragging my case around like a pauper for me
