South Bend 9 rebuild question - JBC - 06-03-2016

I am rebuilding a SB9 and so far it is going well. I removed and ordered a replacement name plate showing the change gear ratios. Where do I get new screw shank rivets that hold the plate on the gear change box?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your help.  I am familiar with McMaster-Carr but would have never thought of "drive screws" .
