Look in your local yellow pages for anyplace that sells tack and
saddles, and give them a call to find out if they, or someone they
know, does basic saddle and harness work. Anybody that does that type
of thing can replace those rivets. Failing that, check for a luggage
repair place; they also can replace rivets easily. If that proves
fruitless, try a tent and awning shop. Presumably you'd rather avoid
the ugly appearance and protruding flange that you would get by using
pop rivets, but as a last resort they would most likely serve well
enough.
