Default Source for metal studs

I'm looking for a retail source for metal studs, sometimes called bell
studs. They are used on musical instrument and other cases and on some
luggage. They are hemispheres that protrude from the exterior of the
cases and act as feet. They attach to the cases with split rivets. I
found some at Ohio Travel Bag, but they won't sell retail. Does anyone
know of a retail source for these? Thanks.

Something you might try is asking them for the name of one of their
dealers/distributors. I've had luck with the information the business
provided to be a source for the item, ended up being a local retailer
that I would of never thought of. Wish you luck.

Yeah, I tried that. Turns out the local retailer won't order them just
for one customer because they have to order more than I need. Maybe if
I bought a few guitars from them instead of buying them all off eBay
they might be friendlier.
