As above, you could drill out the nylon rivets and replace them with 1/8" aluminum rod mushroomed on the ends.

Or roll pins, "BUUUUUT" keep in mind the nylon is designed to break in the even that you are slammed into the steering wheel by a majors collision thus preventing impalement, so it's up to you on whether you wanna take your chances.....
