I don't think there is such a thing. I posted some photos of the way I did it but they aren't available right now. Anyow, I placed an acorn nut with the bevelled end on the open rivet end. Then I used a c-clamp with a spacer to squeeze that acorn nut onto the rivet, thus expanding it until it held. I can't imagine that you understand a word of this! Anyhow, send me a mail at oiga at comcast dot net and I'll send you a couple of photos. Maybe someone else has a better solution?
