Would use screws to replace the rivets. Pop rivets would most likely crack the new replacement dial. Something small like a #2 or 3 machine screw/nut.  Be careful when cleaning any Philco dial never use water or soaps use mineral spirits. I just finished up an 81 w/a warped dial used a heat gun on low to remove the warpage. Got about 90% of in out.
