If you can't buy 'em let me know Jerry. We can have them 3d printed out of nylon all day long, any shape and size you need.

Since I don't have a 3d printer, I would cut them from a carbon graphite plate laminated on a sheet of glass. They look small, so make a small plate and cut it on a bandsaw.

One more thing to consider. I have seen a lot of 3D printed parts, but know very little about them. How strong are they? I assume it depends on the plastic they are printed out of, since there are many to choose from.

I use plastic kitchen cutting board available at home depot. Cut them out with your bandsaw, drill a hole and you're good to go.

I have needed these in the past and I modified thumb screws by simply cutting off unneeded material on the ears of the screws to the same width as the screw diameter, drilled a hole in the middle of the left over portion of the thumb screw, screwed them into the blind nut or threaded insert and attached the wing struts to them; Lowes or Home depot sells them.
