Stock Plastic Rivets

Hi, I am looking for a few stock Duct Panel Fasteners for my 1988 GXL.
The part number is FB01-56-81X, which seems to be NLA!

These are the push button type, The button is flush with the top of the plastic rivet. Push on it and it pops up and you can remove the rivet from the panel.

These are used to secure the plastic panels that are in front of the radiator on either side of the hood latch.

All I can find is the screw down rivets which are much harder to install!

Does anyone know where I can source a few of the stock rivets?

Little things mean a lot.

Just get a universal rivet kit. Metric. They make similar clips for lots of different manufactures

there is a part number for the older FC's, B092-51-833, which is easy to get, i used those.
if you put the part number into your search engine, it'll pop right up

Atkins is mad at me because I took them to court for my core charge when I shipped them my original engine that threw an apex seal!

So, I can not order anything from them ever again!

Plastic riverts found

I think I have found the push rivets I want!

I found this set of rivets online and I think one of the sizes will do the trick.
I found these on eBay, 20x Car Plastic Fairing Rivets Setting Panel Clip 6mm 7mm 8mm Push Pins Fastener
The price is $ $8.88

The thing about these push button rivets is when you are installing the plastic panels, it is difficult to use the screw in type at the lower part of the panels!
