Default Source for convertible top frame rivets

Some straightening of one the mounting plates and linkage bars is neded on the blue beasts top. I need to drill out 3 rivets to have proper access to straighten the pieces.

Does anyone know of a source for the rivets that secure the plates and bows to the side frame?

Thank you vettesbydesign, went to their website, found them and will call on Tuesday with an order.

Another problem solved because of the great people on this forum!

That day of the first run is getting closer all the time and it will make the past 10 months of non stop work all worth it.
