One of the hinge-things on my Singer 9 hood has snapped (see the attached photos). I've tried a Google search, but I can't see anything about hood frame spares. But there must be something out there - I suspect I'm just not using the correct search terms. So, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Re: Singer 9 hood rivets / spindles
It looks like you just need a 3/16" steel rivet. Try searching ebay. Add terms like 'solid' and 'dome head' to avoid getting 'pop' rivets.
