I currently have screws for my bracket but would like to do rivets before I reblue. Anybody have an idea on where to find some?

Measure the hole diameter and multiply it by 1.5. That will give you the rivet diameter and length. Then order appropriate size from McMaster:

I'll have to do that. Anybody have a good pic of an original? Would like to replicate it as close as possible.

I should clarify that the 1.5x is for the length of the rivet tail past the end of the part you're riveting. So overall length is dependent on the thickness of the part you're riveting. Sorry I was working with 2 hours of sleep when I wrote my first comment.
