    Quoted from Flynnyfalcon:

    Is there a typical rivet size used on pinballs? Specifically Sys11's? I'll restore my Whirlwind sometime soon which has a number of rivets needing replacing.

    Couldn't find them in Australia when I was looking , but I see some now at PSPA. I went through this in 2015 when I could not find them here. Got them from Hanson Rivet in the US, diameters are 1/8" with various lengths in 1/32" increments. I purchased 6/32,7/32,8/32,11/32 and the squezeer dies to go with them.
    Cost me $50 in parts and $55 to ship.
    Don't know if you can find squeezer dies in Australia.
