Thanks for the quick reply Warthog. The turnbuttons that I've found so far online are all metal. The ones on my new c-pillar are plastic. Did early hmmwvs have the metal turnbuttons? And are the same size/style turnbuttons found on other kinds of military vehicles?
All the B pillars I have seen had metal, I have several C pillars some are metal but most of the ones that came in black seem to be plastic and in my opinion don't hold up as well. Both styles look to be the same size with rivet holes on either side.
Thanks to everybody who replied. I ordered some turnbuttons from a sailboat place online for around 60 cents a piece. Now I have to decide how to make them black.
If I remember correctly it was sailrite.com .
They came plated and shiny,ended up spraying them with self etch primer and then flat black enamel. Still holding up great.
