I am working on my 51 and need to replace some metal at the bottom on the doors. Is there replacement hinge rivets available? I want it to look as correct as possible

I can make the rivets, it's a special design, not available generally. Alternatively you can use cone head screws with allen key head for easier assembly. After tighten the allen recess can be fill and smooth to look correct.
