I know your in a hurry, but brakes are a safety item, and YOU CAN NEVER CUT CORNERS WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY . You might not mind killing yourself, but what about the person you run into when the lining lets go and you can't stop your machine?????? We do the lnings for the brake and clutch bands/shoes on cranes all the time and the rivets aren't that hard to find in any size or material heck for a few dollars you can even have them overnighted to you if your in that big of a hurry. You can go to Thomas Register online and do a search for rivets. There are different types of rivets but many of the companies you pull up will be able to help you out. I've included a link to one of the places for you to start with. What is commonly used on brakes usually gonna be a semitubular rivet. They can be set by hand/by machine/ or with a air hammer with a special shaped crimping tool that gives them that nice curled look. If your doing them by hand you might also want tolook at a solid type that you simply peen with a hammer. They make them out of different metals so think about that before you order. Most vehicle brakes use a coated steel rivet, which is fine if the drums are easy to find and replace should you wear the linings down to the rivets. For crane drum brakes/clutches the standard is always solid brass. They do this because the parts that would be ruined should you get into the rivets aren't easy or cheap to replace. This is also a good consideration if your machine old enough or rare enough that drums are no longer available for it. If you use a brass rivet, be it semi-tubular or solid be sure it stickes out the back of the shoe about 1/8". This amount should peen/crimp, with no problem, and hold basically the world. Also when ordering, the rivets are gonna be sized by the head and shaft diameter (ie #7, #8, #10, etc.), as well as by the length in 1/16ths. So for instance you wanted a #10 rivet 3/4 inches long you would order a 10-12 rivet.
