If you don't have access to a rivet gun you can use nuts and bolts. I used counter sunk bolts and loctite, meant to replace them with rivets when got the chance.
5 years later, still to swap them

Yep, nuts and bolts on refitting  :y

Don't go too crazy drilling the rivets out. When I did this at school for the first time I pretty much destroyed the tang that the upper rivet was attached to. Don't do that  ;D
