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.

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.

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

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.
