I should have mentioned that mine originally had hollow rivets--very easy and painless to drill out, provided you didn't use too large a drill bit.
Drive screws are available in a great many sizes. You want to choose one that will fill the hole in the badge pretty much completely, but not too large to be slipped in by hand. The holes in the headtube, on the other hand, need to be slightly smaller that the OD of the drive screws so they will hold when driven into place. Suppliers have should have a chart that tells you what size bit is required for a given size screw. It's easy--getting the old rivets out is the potentially tricky part.
Some forum members like to just fasten the badge to the head tube with silicone or some such, and then cement a couple of spoke heads into the holes to look like rivets. I have never tried that approach.
