I looked for about three hours for the same rivet for my 901. I finally gave up and made 20 from 3/8" brass rod. It took less time to make them than I spent looking for them. See my blog post number 30. After making several and measuring with a digital calipers I made a template that I could hold up to the side to measure my progress. The first one took about 15 minutes but the last ones were less than 10 minutes. I was using a small jewelers lathe. As you can see they vary, but they are basically out of sight except for the head.

Good Luck
