Duff,
Bingo! That is exactly what I need. Those little black pieces! I'm not
sure why I didn't check ebay, I guess my brain was too cold from working

Anyway, thanks to all who responded and especially Duff!

Do the nuts need to be plastic? If not then that would open up your
options. Otherwise perhaps somewhere like fastenal might be of help.
They certainly would have a larger selection than Lowes etc.

currently redoing the headlight buckets. There are two adjusters in each
