I bought a package from McMaster-Carr a few years ago. I have lots left.

Send me your mailing address & I will put a few in envelope.

To set the rivets I made a buck with a length of hardwood. Drill a small=20
divot in the end, clamp the piece of wood in a vise, position the rivet=20
head in the divot - through the ID plate & valve cover and peen over the=20
end of the rivet. I started it by using a center punch in the end of the=20
rivet then peened it over with a ball peen hammer.
