Flat face rivet Set Rubber.

Greetings!

I have a couple of Flat rivet sets with the rubber ring to protect the surface from marring. The trouble is, the rubber is old and cracked and about to fall off.

So, instead of buying a new set, Is there anywhere I can buy just the rubber ring?

Mine is just a rubber grommet. I don't know if it had been replaced by the previous owner or not but the grommet works fine.

use it withouth the rubber

I had a rubber lined rivet set just as you are describing. The rubber also cracked and broke off as you describe on mine as well. At that point in the build I was confident that the rubber was not providing much protection for anything and that I had become proficient enough to trust myself to rivet without it. I simply did not replace the rubber on it and kept using it as just a simple ordinary flush rivet set. It worked out just fine.
