I found a real nice 48 trunk handle but where the rivet the holds the flapper on is a screw. What can I use for a rivet that will look orginial?? Thanks

use a stainless rivet and cut it to lenght. Crimp a small piece of brass tube over it to keep in place. You can also put a small piece of spring behind it.
