Looking for grille shell rivets

Does anyone know who sells the black smooth surfaced rivets originally used by GM to attach the grille mounts to the grille shell. Thanks.

Thanks for the information guys. Someone must sell the original rivets or ones very similar. So the search continues.

You can get the threaded type grill rivet from Lutty's Chevy parts. They look like a factory rivet on the top but are threaded and use a small nut. Very easy to install and can be removed any time! They are silver or cad plated? but can be painted black.
