Classic Centerline Auto Drags

Has anyone removed the Rivet's on a set of centerlines and documented it's size. Trying to figure a way to replace the rivet's on a set of classic auto drags so that I can reface them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Who do you know that has the correct rivets, bucking bars, rivet gun and the expertise to set the rivets correctly ? You might want to contact the manufacturer before you start drilling out rivets.

I contacted the manufacturer (Centerline) and they don't have the old style rivet's. New style Auto Drag uses smaller rivet's. Besides they carry no parts in the USA as they are made in China now.
Installing is not a problem. I wanted to get the size so that I could estimate cost of of replacement. Standard sized rivet or have them custom made.

I contacted a rivet manufacturer in the UK who has a fast turnaround. They offer standard solid round top and custom round top rivet's in a dozen different types of stainless steel in the 300 and 400 series
