best rivets for my helmets?

[Daggrim]

I rivet these helmets with double cap Rapid Rivets, but now I'm looking for something more durable. I know there are tubular rivets, and split rivets, and solid copper/brass rivets. I haven't used any of them , so I'm not sure how they even work. I can't use a press because of the really wierdly shaped anvil I needed to make. Thanks to everyone for all the replies to my previous questions. 'fraid my experience is rather narrow.

(which, by the way, is my "persona" name, and means "day mask" in Old Norse. Kinda like a helmet hides your face, but lets the daylight in. My real name is Doug...Dag (day) in Old Norse)

Thanks Freak. I'll post my question in the reenactors section. Love the picture with the dark glasses. Is that a dog's butt? Er...forgive me if that's actually your real face. If it is, you need to be told a terrible truth, bro.

Not sure if it's period correct but IMO, copper rivets are the most durable.
