Hi, to save us from throwing out a clothes airer which was surprisingly expensive, can you advise what this type of fixing/rivet is called? (In picture below)

And also where I might get one.

And would I need a specialist tool to fit it? I do have a rivet gun, but I don't think it's that. There's a splayed end and the other end has a rounded cap.

I tried a bolt and lock nut for a while but it stuck out too much compared to that rounded cap on the original.

Thanks

I bet those rivets posted could be expanded as a one of with some careful work with a small ball pein hammer.
