Washers are used if the rivets are too long to make off properly.
There is a special tool for punching the rivets over. Its a punch which is bent to clear the side of the shoes.
It is non Austin Seven specific and is used on some old motorbike brake linings as well. ( There is also an Austin Service tool for this as well )
Unfortunately not an easy thing to find.
The local brake specialist used to have one along with the special cutters for the rivet holes in the linings.
Unfortunately they are no longer in buisiness.
