I agree, if it had aluminium rivets in originally then it would be logical to fit them again. Worst comes to worst you could always revisit it if they work loose through vibration over time.

You need to search aluminium closed end rivets but something similar to these will do the trick and I can recommend About Town Bolts as a supplier.

In fact, thinking about it I can’t really see any reason why you couldn’t use a rivet band made out of alloy as opposed to stainless if you wanted. It’s really only there to give a uniform spread of pressure to hold it all in place and to protect the carbon from being damaged by the rivets themselves.
