Hi n,
I believe the rivets are the 'semi-tubular' rivets and 1/8" in size. (I'm not sure why the word 'semi' is there... they look 'tubular' to me?)
Various vendors sell them if you can't find them locally.
For instance ZIP Products.... SF-526.
Regards,
Alan

There's also a tool available to 'set' them.
