Mustang seat rivet problem

[grego]

I have a Mustang seat on an Interstate. The seat has a rear facing latch plate which secures the seat with the latch plate placed under the retainer boss on the fender. This latch plate is held to the seat pan with 2 large rivets [steel?] . The rivets are 3/16 dia on the grip section and the head is a flattened curve  1/2 inch in diameter.  Both rivets have broken/sheared and the plate is unattached.  I can push the rivet grips down into the seat foam to enable re-riveting but cannot seem to locate this large rivet. Local hardware stores only carry the small diameter head aluminum rivets.  Any ideas where I can locate suitable rivet  replacements ?

head to an industrial fastner place. I use Nuts Bolts and Supply here in Amarillo for heavy duty needs.

Would any of these work?  Fastenal 3/16" grip section / 1/2" head rivets

Thanks for the link, I had checked Fastenal (theres a store here locally) but the web shows those parts as out of stock.

I did reach Mustang customer service/repair rep today and they are sending out 4 rivets to me , 2 to use, 1 to add in and 1 as spare ....they have great customer service.

As for the duct tape........this is the one application where it wont work,,,,
