    Do a search!

    Hey, I just posted on this topic about 2 weeks ago, and did research for about a month.
    I got D-ring style from a co. called KurveyGirl online. 35.00 for 10.
    If you want traditional phillips head fasteners, the cheapest route is aircraft suppliers. Buy in lots of 10, about a buck each. Can't remember the names of those companies, but I searched "dzus" on the web and found at least two.
    Very happy with the D-rings. Black on a red VFR!:thumbsup:

    Sizes

    Not specifically your question, but
    On my fourth gen the parts diagram listed them as 6 x 17 mm.
    17 is overall length of shaft, 6 is the diameter of shaft (not head)
    They also list "working length". That is from the bottom of head to the top of cam-lock, or, where the two pins of the the clip come to rest when you tighten it. Not the end of the shaft, but up a bit, at the end of the groove that is cut in the shaft for grabbing the clip.
    My Honda needed 14mm of working length.
    They sell racing clips that are made to hold fiberglass panels together with a working length of 12mm.
    Those are the only two sizes I found with moto suppliers so I think they are standards for the industry.
    On the aircraft sites, I found every size you can imagine.
    Take one of yours out and measure one.
