Wallingford Bike stocks 12, 13, and 16.5mm Brooks rivets. The 13 and 16.5 mm ones seem reasonably priced at $10 per 10. They appear only to have 4 of the 12mm rivets in stock at present:

I've purchased small repair bits and new and used saddles from Bill Laine and have been very pleased with the service.
