You don’t need a rivet gun for these.

Well Nuts are “top hat” shaped rubber cylinders with an integral brass nut at the far end. They should be a sliding fit into the hole until the bolt is torqued up: the axial load causes the rubber to swell [Youngs Modulus rings a bell?] and that causes friction to grip the swingarm.
