Maybe you can get some new copper rivets from brooks and fix your
saddle : www.wallbike.com.
Rivet head size does not influence the life the rivet. Older brooks
saddles had small (pea-sized) steel rivets (e.g. regular brooks pro,
not today's brooks pro.) The large head size is to prevent the rider
from feeling the rivets beneath him / her.
