Default 32 Coupe door strap pin - what’s typical?

I proceeded to install the door straps on my 5-window and found the kit didn’t provide a cotter pin or fastener of any kind for the door side. I thought, no problem I’ll use a small bolt or cotter pin. WRONG! This is the best thing I could create to fit through the original hole provided in the body. What normally attaches the strap to the door?

A rivet peened over from the bottom.

Makes sense but a little difficult to replicate without special tools or luck which I seem short on. 😁

A short truss head screw and thin self-locking nut should work.
