[Healeys] rivets

[Oudesluys]

It may be more convenient to replace them with tight fitting bolts with 
a short cilindrical shaft and self locking nuts, after 
redrilling/reaming the holes in the frame to the diameter of the bolts 
shaft. Fit them with some graphite/MoS2 grease. Do not forget to fit 
brass or nylon washers between the moving parts.
If you want to use rivets, you still have to redril/ream the holes as 
they are likely to have worn as well. Rivets are still available in many 
sizes, but you may have to search around a bit. Hardware 
shops/Google/Ebay etc. You can always have them made up by a machine shop.
