Default Help finding/making trim clips

Hello All,

I have a '76 Alfa Romeo that has had a number of trim pieces removed
for painting. And of course the fasteners have gone missing.

The trim pieces (like badges and script on the trunk-lid) have pins
which stck through holes in the body panels. The fasteners were little
sheet metal washer-like pieces that were to be pushed over the
protruding pins. The spring action and barbed holes of the fasteners
kept everything tight.

Does anyone know where I can get fasteners like this or have
suggestions on alternate means of securing my badges and tail-light
trim?

Thanks,

Joseph
