    You can get them at sewing supply places (check your man-card at the door:twisted:) but you'll probably end up with the zinc plated variety, I would suggest getting the stainless steel ones. We found them at a local canvas shop that specializes in awnings & truck covers. a good marine supply pace should stock them as well.

    p.s.- I hope you have a heavy duty sewing machine, punching through vinyl or heavy canvas will kill a regular machine pretty quick. :(
