Any link either here or overseas would be appreciated. I know I can use pop rivits but hey they look a bit ordinary.

i notice you are from caboolture, just pop over to your friendly airport and poke around, someone may have what you need.
actually i also need some rivets for my little folly, and when i get time i will look in my rivet collection, if i don't have any i will be buying them from aviaquip at moorabbin in melbourne,
as wovenrovings suggested, get soft ones, as the ally on landies is soft,
try part no. MS20470A-6-6 this a pure aluminium rivet with a universal head [very unlikly to find MS20435 round head which land rover use] 3/16 inch diameter[ie 6/32nds] 3/8 in long[ie 6/16ths] the A is for the material 1100 soft.
if you want countersunk, MS20426.
and i do have the gear to set them with, both universal and the pommie heads.
no i don't lend, but can assist if suitably encouraged.
was that helpful enough ron?
