Looks like a problem in locating aircraft hardware. Try some of these:
http://www.dzus.co.uk/
http://www.s-sengineering.com/
http://www.hartwellcp.com/
http://www.milspecproducts.com/
http://www.infodotinc.com/air/2-6.htm
And if that doesn't work go out to the local airport to an FBO (Fixed Base
Operator) and ask them. There commonly used to hold cowlings on aircraft
amongst other things.
