Convertable top iron rivets

I am replacing the worn rivets on my roadster’s convertable top irons. I’ve been told that someone makes special bolts that look like a rivet when put together. Does anyone know where I can purchase these rivet/bolts?

What year roadster? 1932 is very different than 1933-36. Are you restoring where head profile is important or a street rod where appearance but not necessarily authenticity is important?


There are no commercially available "rivet bolts" of the size needed for top irons that I know of, there are a couple of options for true rivets.

The top irons are on a 1936 Roadster. I found these at McMaster-Carr, they are not exact but look like they might work.
