I'll add another $.02..

	The "official" repair manual recomends a #30 drill for 1/8" rivets- and a
#21 for the 5/16 Olympic rivets.

	I'm lucky enough to have a "fastener" store in my town (a small town), and
I buy double headed drill bits there- when one end gets dull, just flip it
over. They are high quality, 135º, split point bits.

	The manual also recomends punching the center of a rivet, drilling it out,
and punching the reamainder out.
