They were used on my Suzuki V-Strom. I needed just a few replacements so I got them my local dealer. He had aftermarket ones.Quote:

I'm looking thru alibaba now...
We'll see what happens, then I'll try screw them for some samples ;)
I'd be in for any bulk buy!
I measured my old ones from wheel arches (County) and 6mm seems right. I assume everyone wants 6mm? Worth checking new Defender ones are the same size. :)
I don't know if these are the same as the ones my V-Strom had:

See how the type the Strom had are used here (the third one shown in the video): [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Sa1pHB4qnA[/ame]
In Perth my brother inlaw's business is fasteners, bolts, nuts etc, I get all the odd plastic fasteners I need, as he is no rocket scientist I would assume any fastener supplier could source what you need.
D3/D4 plastic inner guard fasteners are the ones I use the most.

Why not Dzus fasteners?

You can buy them everywhere and much more robust that a plastic rivet.
They will ultimately rust.Quote:

Dzus are really aimed at items you regularly need to remove.
The plastic scrivet is ideal because it installs in a simple hole, doesn't rust but I'd have to admit it sometime doesn't come apart as easily as it should and if you don't have access to the back it's a PITA to remove.
I haven't tried my local fastener shop but as it's more of an automotive item they may not carry them.
Rare Spares have them http://www.rsp.net.au/Products.aspx?...IVET-FASTENERS
Champion have them http://championpartsonline.com.au/in...ory&path=17_99 and therefore SuperCheap, Autobarn etc.
The above would be OK if you just need a couple in an emergency but otherwise expensive.....

3 position push rivets on alibaba seem to retail at about 0.025 USD each for a buy of 2000ea... ie 2.5 cents. Probably FOB shipping (not defined).
Ive found a supplier of a similar product on ebay, and I've made an modest offer for a qty of 100ea. I'll report back when I know more.
