Default LSA Gasket rivets

My brother is getting ready to bolt down the blower on his build and drilled out the rivets ages ago, the gaskets are good and he wants to re-use them, does anyone know what size the rivets are so he can re-attach them?

The head gaskets? Why did he drill them out?

They don’t seal the layers. Just hold them together till you bolt it down. Don’t see a need to rivet them back together. I hear a lot of guys on yellowbullet would copper spray their mls layers and put them back in

Not the head gaskets, the intake gaskets, my bad I kind of left that open ended in the original post. They rivet in place to locate them since it's a heavy awkward unit to try and set on the heads, line up gaskets & bolts, and not loose a finger.
