Where to find body fasteners etc.

This might be the wrong section to post in, but PBE supply jobbers are the only ones I ever knew you could get this stuff from, so here goes. My 71 F250 had homemade door panels from the PO and I scored some real ones on Ebay. I took the homemade ones off and discovered that the PO had drilled his own holes for them. to make the real door panels work I'm going to need a round nylon or plastic grommet the will pop in the hole for the screw to go into. I have looked on the Vintage Ford site and the C&G Early Ford site. Lots of good stuff there but not the grommets I need. Does anyone know where I should be looking for this stuff? I asked here because I figure this is the kind of thing you can expect to run into removing/installing body molding and parts prior to and after painting.

Thanks

Sorry to take so long in replying---here's an outfit I've used with a lot of success: ClipsAndFasteners.com - Automotive Retainers,Clips and Fasteners

Very fair prices and good service----better any most of my local sources!

Thanks, I had come across them before in my searching, but I guess I didn't take a close enough look. I see they carry Auveco which pretty much has everything in the industry.

Thanks.
