Default 69 Z leaf spring rebuild kit

Guys, looking for 2 rivets as the kit I purchased from HBC conveniently only has 2 in the sealed bag. Took the week off to try and get something done. Is there any alternative?
Thanks, Doc.

does the HBC kit these days have the correct plastic sleeves - historically i have found that they do not?

Question
Did you get the springs re-arched? and if so who did it?
I tried to contact Eaton about heating and re-arching to no avail
I understand cold re-arching will eventually settle to where they were before

i always wondered why HBC would sell the incorrect "assembly line " kits and most guys i know throw out their plastic sleeves and go buy the correct ones.....why not just get the kit in the correct configuration??

Good question considering one can buy the correct eaton sliders for $1.00 each and if you ordered a thousand I bet you could get them for .75.
