I am in the process of changing the spindle deck bearings on my Toro rider, and while I had the deck off decided to replace the small brake pad that makes contact with the deck pulley. The old one was almost wore down to nothing and there was soon going to be metal on metal.
Here is a picture of the brake pad:
Here is a picture of the rivets that are used to fasten it down to the brake bracket:
I know nothing about rivets. Does anyone know what kind of rivet this is, and how to fasten it? Or where to take it and pay someone to fasten it for me? I'd like to learn and do it myself if I could. It looks like I could probably also go to the local hardware store and find some kind of small bolt and nut and fasten it that way.
