Default 4x4 Bonnet Vent Brass Inserts

Does anyone know if you can get new inserts for the 4x4 Bonnet Vents?... the brass threaded jobbies that fit in the plastic pegs...

I just took a small nut and ground off the flats to make it round and then epoxy resin'ed then in. Then I used stainless capheads to hold my vents and stainless plates in place.

cossie1000... That sounds like a good plan, never thought of that!!!

I have some s/h ones but six captive nuts are missing.
I was going to fix these with JB weld over the nut that I inserted DOWN the hole first, so it is totally covered apart from the hole for the screw, I drilled the holes deeper for this, but then luckily found two new ones for £75, so using them now.
