I used drill bits, started small (3/16) then went to a bit the size of the hole for rivet.
If the rivets didn't just fall off (hole drilled off center) I just used a cold chissle to finish. Rivets seem to be soft (to drill). just use cutting oil on drill bits to save them. Use a center punch to mark the center of the rivet.
Good luck
