[dead dog]

Need brass or copper rivets for this kind of nameplate. Does anyone know I can find them?

You might need to browse around for a different size, but they've got 'em.

One eight inch diameter is too big and pop rivets are not correct. I think 3/32" is about right. Expect to buy in amounts of 100 or 500.

Yeah, that's what I need 500 rivets, that will last me 100 lifetimes. These are round with a flat top.

Groovy. I've never seen solid rivets like that (except maybe installed in something when I didn't notice them). They are a little more purdy. Unfortunately, it looks like you need an air tool (or a woman named Rosie) to install a solid rivet made from anything other than aluminum... just basing that on the data provided by the "manual" tools available from mcmaster.

Unless you already know the size, you might have to drill the old ones and hit the hole with a caliper.

These might work McMaster-Carr I'll need to flatten the top by hand.
Thank you.

Top should flatten when you buck them
