When I cored the cans on my S4R, I used SS rivets to secure the end caps. Although they are a bit harder to "squeeze" into place I just used a normal rivet gun. I have some left, how many do you need?
The rivet body is 3.94mm dia, 9.82 length, rivet cap is 7.72mm dia. Total rivet pin length is 43.42mm. As far as I can tell, both the rivet body & pin is SS.

Fair point about using them on carbon sleeves though.

I didn't have any issues with exhaust gases leaking from the rivet head, I guess they take the path of least resistance through the normal outlet.
