[Boatanchors] Hallicrafters Rivets

Hello,

Does anyone know who sells and how to install the steel rivets similar 
to what Hallicrafters used in many of their receivers. For example, I 
need to install a new name tag on an SX-42. The old one had a SO-239 
connector installed right in the canter of the old one. I can drill out 
the old one, no problem. Bolts/nuts will work, but I would like to get 
something that looks more original. I even thought about using a 
bolt/nut with a file to round off the head, to make it look closer to 
the original rivet, but that would still look funky.

Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions.
