I'm not sure what these things are called... but I need some. I'm calling
them plastic "push rivets", where a plastic plunger pushes through a collar
with 3 or 4 plastic legs. These legs break off.
All the ones I've seen so far are a pretty common size. However, the ones I
need two of at the moment are slightly smaller than that. Specifically,
these are the two plastic push rivets from an HP 264X terminal that hold the
metal cover over the CRT.
Anyone ever find a source for these? Both my local electronics places came
up empty.

Hi Jay
Look at the one in the online McMaster-Carr catalog
on page 3054. I think these are the right ones.

I think they may have a minimum order but I'm sure
that with a few minutes looking you'll find enough
things to make an order.
