So here is an update...I got one of the pins in (with a flat head) and was able to peen over the "skirt" in the rivet. HOWEVER...it did not secure the fork to the shaft as it was to damn loose.

Those rivets I got from some repro house are a smaller size than the holes that they are to go in...going to resort to roll pins as the forks need to be tight on those shafts.
