Tom, I rebuild, restore lots of distributors and hunted for that rivet for a long time and never found it.
I make my own and it's quick and easy.
Get a piece of 3/32 thin wall brass tubing (hobby shop or hdwr store), some brass escutcheon pins,#16 gauge, ie brads.
Cut the tubing to the proper length, cut the pins to less then half the length of the tube.
Tap one cut pin into the tube, install the new "rivet" and tap in the other pin.
