1935-1936 Cabriolet grommets/bumpers for convertible top header tin

[KendraFowles]

Green arrows in the photos - three rubber round bumpers or grommets fit into the tin plate on the convertible top, inside the front edge facing down onto the windshield header. I have checked all the large parts houses (including Lebaron-Bonney) and have not found the correct round bumpers. Any recommendations?

Part number 78-711304 looks similar but is 1937, and sold in sets of four.

Also looking to find the correct fastener for each corner (red arrows in the photos) - if anyone knows the correct fastener head type and finish.

thanks,

Ken

B-16761 I believe Lynn Steele does have a very close replacement. Not too sure about the above part number?? Since the 3 appear like the grommets below. There are no grommets at the ends (red arrows) there are screws but I do not know the proper type??

Grommets arrived. Question: roughly how far (how high) above the top-header tin should the bumpers/grommets sit?

thanks
