5 bow latch grommet

Hello, I'm trying to find out about the grommets that go on the 5 bow pin to latch the rear section of the top to the the lid. According to the diagram they are #14. Anyone know where I can get them or something that is usable? Thanks

Well I need to save up for a top before I need these but I'll keep them in mind. Can you post a pic and a part number? Why do they discontinue items like this? People are still going to need them as long as there are third gen converts out there.
