Any source or suggestions for hardtop 1/4 window button grommets

Seems there were two grommets for 1/4 window toggle <> outside button chrome. Anyone know of a source and/or good option to replace

I'm probably going to get murdered for this post ...but yes ..

About 18months ago people were looking for the grommets and buttons ( both small and large) I arranged to have some made in Australia... I got them done... Paid the mfg.. but due to some circumstances beyond my control they are still sitting there.. I should restart a thread for them and contact those that had orders...
I have them if you need . But accessing them has been the issue.. I am a 16 hour flight from them and have been for almost 2 years 😑

I would be interested in 2 sets of those, and have a mate in Brisbane right now that could take delivery.
Or surely one of our Australian members could help?

I recall another member here had sourced a new production substitute ??? Someone good at thread search might uncork them.

I'll have to dig up the list from the PM. A friend of mine picked them up but then had his own health issues..

I've had $500 worth of HR buttons and grommets I load for sitting at his place... Maybe I should start a thread and tag the purple who originally ordered them to see who still needs them.

I am definitely interested in the grommets. I am OK on the buttons themselves. Hope you can find a way to get them and appreciate your effort to have them made.

The small chrome buttons are also used on 60's Minis and Mini Coopers... these are on the sliding door glass. Unfortunately, they use a different grommet. These small chrome buttons are available from Moss under part # 115.860 at $15 ea retail. I haven't found a proper source for the stepped rubber seal, so I use rubber washers from the hardware store with the proper outside diameter. The larger chrome buttons seem to be unique..
