Default Ignition Shielding Doodads

Does anyone know of a place where I can find the little nylon or plastic stoppers that plug onto the top of the shielding box on a 70? The little holes are about an eigth of an inch in diameter and the little plugs hold the translucent plastic sheet on the inside of the top. The tops are round. I'm not real **** about NCRS type originality so something close is fine. I searched Home Depot and WalMart today but have not tried a hardware store yet. I know I've seen these little plugs somewhere but can't figure out what their application would be. Maybe Radio Shack? I'll bet they come in a little bag of a dozen or so. I'd like to get my shielding back on after about a 28 year hiatus. You know, easier tuneups, headers, etc. Help!
Thanks,
Claude

If you're not concerned about orig parts, (or color) and are willing to measure them out (both diameter and depth) I can check my assortment of hdwre to see if I have a match for you. As I'm somewhat of an organized 'pack-rat'... :D
