Default tubular rivets

I have a '70s style full front fender for my Sportster.

I need to attach the chrome struts to the fender using button head tubular rivets and I've been waiting 5 months for the dealership to get the tool. The other nearby dealer doesn't have the tool either.

I live in New York City.
So, if anyone knows of...
an independent who might have the rivet tool;
any type of business who might have the tool;
any other way other than welding to attach the struts,
please let me know.

Thanks.
