I did mine last week. A 3" or 4" metal drill bit would do the job. I suggest using a new one. You don't actually have to drill right through the rivet - just drill till the circle (top part of the rviet comes off), then use a nail to punch the rest of the rivet through for clearance.

HTH

PS. Whereabouts are you, as I could help you, if you want. I'm in Cheshunt.
