Hood frame rivets

Hi All,

My convertible is soon to be treated to the fitting of a new hood and, whilst doing this I thought it would be sensible tart up the hood frame, previously someone has replaced the rivets with self tapping screws and small nuts and bolts, obviously while I'm there I fancy changing these for the proper rivets. Does anyone know where I can get these from ?

Cheers,

Will

For my money a set of SS or chrome bolts of the right length (not self tappers though) and captive nuts would have the benefit of no drilling required, should you ever want to take the hood off to clean or repair it.I think they could look smart too.
Just a thought.
