Houston, we have a problem!

Hi everyone, first I'd like to introduce myself. I'm currently restoring a Triumph Roadster 2000, it's my first british car. It's really lovely done, very nice finish and quality in all parts I've seen so far. I bought it in Switzerland and it's a rare lefty. The Roadster Club is great, very very well organized and helpfull.
My other classic is a Lancia Flaminia GT 3C, an eye-catcher but more complex.

Body and engine of my Triumph are ready so I just started with the details. The original headlamp has an inner adapter for the big nut to fit it to wing. This plate is fixed to the shell by some chromed rivets.

Does anyone knows where I could get these special rivets and the adapter plate?
I googled some days, but couldn't find them.

Thanks a lot,
Norbert from Munich
