Default Brake service shaft

I'm in the process of repairing my service brake cross shaft the last thing I'm doing is reinstalling the brake pedal to cross shaft arm that's on the cross shaft. Has anyone replaced this rivet. the current hole dia. Is 0.395 and rivet lenght is about 1 7/8 " I'm trying to find a company that sells rivets that size. Can anyone help with my search. Last resort will be a grade 8 bolt. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Jerry

The rivets were swedged--- compressed so they swelled up in the hole to fill it-- this way the alignment of the holes didn't need to be perfectly aligned--this was done cold

For rivets try " big flats rivets "

If you contact "Fastenal", I'm sure if not in stock they can order, and I think the vendors for Model A parts carry assorted rivet sizes also.
