I've recently bought rivets for my D2 steering clutch plates from Florin Tractor Parts, I'm often amazed at what they have in stock, contact Judy there, she is A1.

I have dealt with Florin Tractor before, just this week as a matter of fact, bought main bearings, rod bearings, and some seals for my pony motor, I deal with Dana, but they had no rivets, I was lucky to get the linings from Cat, but they were not very cheap either.
Better take the new plates to a Clutch and Brake Shop, if they don't have the correct rivets then I'm sure the glue they use nowadays on clutch and brake relines will get the job done, it's made rivets obsolete

Hi Team,
the 7B5055 rivet is listed as 3/16" dia. x 13/32" long and stated to be for "star set" not the usual "roll set"
Grab the scan below for future reference whilst it is up.
Hope this helps.

When I got my 60 the estate had tons of early Cat stuff for bigger tractors and his sons let me take everything I wanted. I hauled home a Brake lining machine and bunch of boxes of rivits but they are Trojan brand and number dont look like any here the have 10-7,7-9,7-7 ect. and best I can measure your size is 7 T 7. does that sound right to anyone
This chart should help you figure it out...
First number is trade size diameter, second number is length.
