Can anyone point me in the general direction for a cheapish but effective pinball rivet gun set on Amazon to do some plastics? Never done it before, but needs to be done.
 
If you want the proper ones the press isn’t cheap you can use soft pop rivets but they don’t look as good how much stuff have you got to do ?
 
This is from @Vimtoman so can't claim the credit, but works great. Used it to redo the ramp flaps on creech. Rivet through the hole, put the back of the rivet onto something sturdy (I used an old piece of granite) and then lightly hammer the press head down onto the tubular side.

I found the 4mm good enough to do the job but get some 5mm as well to cover your bases
