If you can give me a diameter, and the approximate length you need, I can send you some to try if you like.
I tried to use #2 pan head machine screws, but the holes were just a tad too large. A rivet the size of a #2 screw should work though. I need three to do the job and 1 or 2 extra for mistakes
