Default Soft Top Frame Rivets

I need to drill out 2 rivets on my 68 convert top frame.
One bar behind the side window needs to be straighten.
Its slightly bent allowing the driver side to retract quicker
than the passenger side.
The only replacements I can find with the vendors
are a kit including rivits and bushings for 87.00.
Does anyone know of any vendors that just stock only
the rivets as I only need two.
I have yet to check with a local shop that replaces tops
as a last resort.

Thanks as my new top from Al Knoch is due to be delivered
next week.

Sully's Tops in Fresno, CA sells individual rivets. I purchased some to replace a few bad ones in my frame. His phone # is 559-291-8677. He specializes in Corvette tops, does excellent work at very fair prices.
