Split brass rivets (aka bifurcated rivets) 3/16 shank diameter, 5/8 shank length (7/16 work thickness + 3/16 clinch allowance), 5/16 or 3/8 truss or oval head diameter.
Looked everywhere including internet.
Does anyone know where these rivets may be purchased?
Model T suppliers sell semi tubular rivets and also too short.

Re: TT rear brake pad rivets
Why not counter sink and used regular brake rivets? Even the woven lining can be counter sunk, we do it all the time with woven Model A lining.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Why not get a brake shop to bond new pads on?
No rivets to come loose or damage the drums.

Re: TT rear brake pad rivets
I used the supplied rivets with the new lining sold by suppliers and they worked fine. I assume the transmission band rivets are too small. Try big flats rivet if you have not already.
