Are they UK made ones? If so the hub is correct.

Aside from Skyway in the States, the only other Skyway Rivet machine that works is in Australia.  BUT there have been people who have been able to make up the machine rivets at a machine shop and have them fitted that look just like the OG ones so it can be done.

Just buy the appropriate sized hex headed bolt and grind it to a rivet shape on a bench grinder 5 mins tops for each rivet.
then ask Frankentuff what glue he uses and glue them in  ;)  :daumenhoch:
