Searching for Turn Buttons for Soft Top

Hi all,

I'm looking for some turn buttons to replace those that are missing that would secure the soft top to my M998.

I searched the site for Turn Buttons, and saw this thread, but it's for a different type of truck and part. I did ask the team at this site if they had any, or knew of a source.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good place online that would carry this replacement part. Posting the image below of what I'm looking for, which are the existing turn buttons. So far, the only turn buttons that I can find online with pop rivets is on Amazon and Walmart, but they do not look as substantial or original as I would like them to look like.

Thanks much!

Welp, I might have found the part.

Erik from Erik’s Military and Industrial Surplus directed me to Kascar (www.Real4WD.com). Searching for Turn Buttons led me to this part, which looks like the one I need: https://real4wd.com/product/stud-turnbutton/

There is a good possibility the nose of your rivet tool of choice will not fit snugly against the turnbutton....... stack a few small washers on top of the revit before placing it in the tool. Works for me, my two cents.

Hey @Mogman, do you know the size of the rivet I'll need?
IIRC they are 1/8", I would use stainless so they don't end up looking like the ones in the video.
Remember when measuring for the grip range that you include the head unlike a "regular" rivet.
Something like this should work.

Much appreciated. I already ordered the Turn Buttons from Kascar, but good to know this option too. Much cheaper on Amazon :)
