I would guess there is a special rivet, one with a shoulder has to be used. This way, it can be peened to hold the arms pivot point in place tightly, yet allowing for proper movement.
If a stepped rivet was used, where did you find it? A bolt with the right size may work but requires a unlock nut installed. I would prefer the rivet approach.
On the farm, rivets where used to hold the blades on the cutting bar of a hay cutter or combine. Maybe, a farm and home would have this hardware.
What say you? Oh great inventor of power windows on the cheap.

not completely sure what you are talking about but if you talking about the long pieces with the wheels that run in the tracks on them I didn't change them I never even took them apart there were 3 rivets on the end that the big gear attached I grinded off 2 and pivoted it and welded to keep it from turning anymore
