Napa has them, has several different sizes and also different forms of push fasteners.

I just scrapped the plastic rivets all together,I used 1/4"x1" aluminum rivets instead(box of 100 was $15).

Don't forget the special rivet gun for those plastic rivets if you still use them.

you can use a pliers and a vice grip to install the rivets if you don't have the 'official' rivet gun

You can but rarely get them tight enough,and tend to break some doing that way.

Agreed, though I ditched them and went with plastic push "xmas" connectors.

They are alright, but not as good as metal rivets.
