Unhappy No slip license plate bolts-Any other vendors?

Some years ago I got some from Bob Drake and would like some more. However they always seem to be "out of stock" direct from him. Any other places carry them? Been looking on his site for a year now. Thanks, GaryU.

I looked at the picture and it looks like those could be made easily out of some acorn nuts and a file.
