I agree.  These types of rivets are installed in a similar manner as grommets, like on tarps.  You can find two-piece sets, one part acts as an anvil and the other acts as the "set" tool that you strike with a hammer.  Air tools might also be available, but a dish-shaped anvil is still needed.  Personnally I might just pop rivet it back together if I couldn't find direct replacements.  You could do an internet search on rivets to learn their proper name and where to buy them.  HTH

Wouldn't it be nice to find this two piece rivet set as a one piece clamping tool?   '<img'>

For anyone interested, here is what I ended up with:
A stainless steel, semi tubular rivet, size is 3/16 x 9/32 x 3/8. They fit fine, the heads look identical.  I got 100 rivets and the tool to seat them (using an air chisel/hammer) for about $30.00...most of that for the tool. You can see the company's info on paper as well as rivet dimensions.
