You can still pick up Skyway hub replacement kits Steve but thats probably a more expensive way of fixing them.  Can't you measure the original rivets...?

You're in luck - they are 4.2mm x 64.43 which makes me think they are most likely imperial........ 5/32 x 2 and 17/32...... Or just buy 4 x 65mm and be done with it. Ere to help...... ;D

Search for M4 pan head bolts - if memory serves, you can't get 65mm, so get 70mm and trim down.  You need pan heads so the chain clears them when fitted.
