you can still buy proper rivets the type were you use a rivet punch and dolly to form them. you just tap in a some of the right size. that is if you were able to remove the old ones.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

If these are what you are asking about, I bought some drive screws from the ACMOC a while back. 10 cents a piece. I see that they are listed in the store under Restoration parts but no picture. Pete
