I had the good fortune to see an original N-series special, Robert Pass of Passport transport had it. Your build is very nice! Thanks for sharing your pics with all of us!

They are solid rivets, if you google solid rivets UK you will find several sources but here is a website that is also very informative...

I would only use pop rivets on a car that originally had them
