Hi Doug,

    I am always playing with JettSet for jigs. This might do it for you,
    although it's tough to tell without a picture of the links. If you
    were to superglue your links together in the configuration needed to
    flatten the rivets and depress them into the thermoplastic until it
    hardened, then wouldn't your links stay put when laid into the
    depression? You could then drill out the spot in the thermoplastic
    underneath where you need to support your riveting just large enough
    to insert a finishing nail to act as a tiny anvil against which you
    could hammer. 

    If this particular approach is off the mark, I still think that
    JettSet is your best bet to accomplish this. 

Good Luck!
Linda
