Phil - Search for Push-In Rivets (plastic, nylon, etc.).
Two of the largest mfg. of plastic Push Rivets are just east (Richco, River Forest, IL) and north (Fastex, Des Plaines, IL) of me. Both have been acquired by larger conglomerates. — Richco (River Forest) was bought by Essentra Components (UK) in December 2011. https://www.essentracomponents.com/en-us/s/push-in-rivets Global HQ for Essentra is in your neighborhood (Ask for Samples).

They consist of a 4-point clawed rivet of about 5mm long, and a pin which pushes down the centre to open it out. I need five of them ideally - but even two or three would get the case buttoned up, if not perfectly. I've checked the local plastic supplier catalogues and haven't found anything which quite matches up. Cheers, -- Phil. phil...@philpem.me.uk https://www.philpem.me.uk/ Sent from iPad Pro
