The Essentra parts are a perfect fit - the pin handle is slightly shorter, but 
that's really not a problem

I now have prices from Essentra (was Richco) for their SLG-2S-B grommet and 
SLPB-2S-B pin which appear to be an exact match for the Southco Nylatch parts.

I'm being sent samples which should be with me tomorrow or Friday so I can 
check they do actually work.

On the assumption that I order at least 150, the pricing appears quite 
attractive, at GBP7 per 20 (grommet and pin) plus shipping from UK.

GBP7 is about USD10.20

I searched Amazon with both Southco part numbers and they appear to show that 
they are available for order.

$0.23 for the grommet  http://amzn.com/B01DYYNHP8

$0.21 for the plunger  http://amzn.com/B01DYYL66K

Shipping is not cheap at a fixed $6.50 for each part number. Selecting a total 
of 30 each does not affect shipping.

Of course, the "In Stock" status could be wrong ...

Bill,

Was it WCL ? West Coast Lockwashers has some push-pull rivets but I have no 
idea if they will work.

https://www.wclco.com/plastic-components/panel-fasteners/panel-fasteners-plastic-rivets/pushpull-rivets-h-type/

They don't look the same but I wouldn't care as long as they were functional.
