Good points, Slobodan -- but these parts almost never wear out. Of the dozens of Rolleiflex TLR's I've owned, nary a one has needed the parts you describe. By "rivets", I suppose you are referring to the screw-in parts for the meter-cell. These might be hard to find now but, as they come in the cell kits, it is still possible to find them. The other fasteners in the body are all DIN.
