Dave, There's a supplier near me called Pacific Fastners if you can't find them. You'll need someone to help you, I've made a tool for doing the rivets, but you need someone to hold the fender in position while you peen them over. I heat them & have found it works perfectly without any distortion so long as you don't go crazy with the torch. The ones I did on my truck are unidentifiable from original. I'm sure carriage bolts would work fine, but my objective in restoring my trucks is to make them as close to original as possible & I could spot those carriage bolts even when you drove by me on the highway!
