Pete,
What I do for Raleighs is take the proper size pop rivet for the Raleigh hole and grind down the OD of the flange of the rivet to a size more like the original one. It can be reshaped and thinned at the edges with little effort. I normally use an AL rivet, but SS are available also. Ideal would be a brass head rivet. Anyone have or know of such a thing? I'd like to have a bunch of those. I'm sure my Raleigh customers would like it too.

They also have "Brass Escutcheon Pins". I bought some at a local hardware store and had high hopes of maybe improving on the aluminum pins Raleigh used. Haven't tried to mount one yet though. Of course I'd like to hear from Brian Baylis too.
