Are those rivets that attach the heat shield to the manifold? What size are they and where do you get them? Do you hammer them in? Thanks, Al

They are a sort of spiral rivet:

I've never had to buy them as I've been able to reuse mine, sometimes by using a cold chisel on them to "restore" the spirals to create a tight fit. A high temperature, stud-locking style of Loctite may also work.
