I use a C-clamp that we modified using a Tonka Rivet Tool as the foundation. If you have a Mill, you can fab one fairly easily. Otherwise, make a tubular rivet upsetting tool on a lathe. If none of those are an option, I guess you could use a small machine screw from one of the big box stores.

Sorry. I don’t have that kind of machinery. I’ll probably need to look for stainless bolts locally, but I have no clue where to look. The big box store bolts will likely rust.
