Wanted: Turn Buckle Studs

Does anyone have a spare Turn Buckle Stud in grey for the battery cover?
I have tried various breakers without any luck.

I recently bought a pair of camplates that these studs fit to from David Manners, luckily I didn't need the studs themselves as they seem to be unobtainable.

However, the packet they came in stated they also fit the S Type, X300 and X308 so thinking out of the box maybe you can find the parts that relate to those vehicles?

If originality isn't essential I'm sure there are other types of Dzus fasteners that may be adapted such as:

One other option would be to buy grey carpet section part no. GHE3649AAALFD from JCP which comes with one of the studs attached. Quite expensive at £5.85 plus VAT but will give you exactly what you want.

Remember that the carpet turn-buckle is very different to the battery cover studs which are a much more lightweight fitting.

I'd buy the black ones (if identical) and paint them.

Thanks all for your replies.

Justxjs have a pair but want £24, which is a bit steep.
