And you have just told the entire online world you planning on committing a felony? I would delete this post, rethink your plan and get some expert advice privately 
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

There is a vendor selling those things, advertising on page 56, in the current issue of Mopar Collectors Guide.
Look it up.
Do you know how many dash pads i have changed over in the 38 years that i have owned the Cuda in my signature picture.
Probably did that 4 or 5 times in 38 years.
But i just super glued the rivet heads and what was left of the rivet shank back onto the tag.
I don't know what some people wet their pants about in selling rivets.

Maybe he's just "swapping" out his old dashpad, and needs to "swap" the old tag to the new pad, and do it correctly,
And if he's doing a rebody,....who cares, it's his business  .....dude needs rivets, maybe they're for a kid's pedal car, or a John Deere lawn tractor?
And to answer the OP's question, contact DW at ECS for rivets,...IIRC $25 pr

Unless the laws have changed, that "swap" is not allowed. And the "correctly" excuse is not likely allowed becuse it has been abused, and regarding "who cares?", the next buyer ( a rebody?), the prosecuter, the judge, the jury and his wife and kids for starters. If he needs correct rivets for a john Deere tractor he is on the wrong site. Regardless my biggest concern was asking the question online that might have serious reprecussions later with other solutions possible which I suggested.

Cry me a freakin river man, sheesh.  If someone wants to do a rebody, what's to stop them from just installing the entire dash frame from the donor car? Making the vin rivets available does not make this substantially easier. Or you can dremel the tag rivets off from the bottom and JB weld the tag and the tops of the rivets on. Nobody will be able to tell the difference. jcc, if someone wants to do something dishonest, not having access to vin rivets is not going to stop them. Gimme a break, nobody's going to care what this guy's doing.

OK, I'll give you a break, and by the way you missed my entire point. Now give me a break.

No I got your point. No judge or law enforcement official is going to nail this guy because he posted something online. They've got bigger fish to fry than some guy dinking around with a vin tag on a 30+ year old car.
