Can someone describe the monitor back panel or provide a picture.
I just picked up some PET parts from a barn and might have what you are
looking for.
Small metal panel left and right sides slant inwards.

YMMV but for most people (including me ;-) cleaning and possibly a bit of
light sanding is all it takes and I think it's worth while to try that
before spending money on resurfacing the plungers.
For that, aside from the kits like the one you mention folks have used
rear-window-heater repair kits and also glued-on hole-punched foil disks.
I've used both on other keyboards, especially remote controls, but FWIW none
of the PETs I've worked on needed more than a good cleaning.
Maybe it depends on how and where the PETs have spent their lives; I've got
four on the bench right now; I'll let you know how they turn out ;-)

I re-and-re'd my keyboard and keys 3 times... Scrubbing away... each time it
got a bit better, but never perfect. Then I put my 4016 away for a few
months and when I broke it out again I was back to most keys not working. A
year ago I used circuit works keypad repair kit [CH-CW2605] and all is good
as of today.

Usually all it takes is a bit of a rub down of the pcb with a *soft* eraser
and a good cleaning of the pcb and the key contacts with alcohol; in
stubborn cases a *very light* sanding of the key stems with fine grade emery
cloth does the job. Unlike cheap remote controls it's very rarely necessary
to coat the key pads with anything.
I should have an apostrophe key and spring somewhere; I'm not clear whether
you also need an R key or just the spring?
