Some pictures of my new carrier

I don't believe the studs on the brackets are lift the dot fasteners. These studs were meant to retain the rubber type straps on the early carriers. Later, the rubber straps were replaced by webbing straps, but usually the little stud remained. I would have to check some of my brackets tomorrow, but I think the stud is a bit bigger than the lift the dots.

Does anyone know where one can find lift the dot studs with the wood screw threading feature behind the stud? I need to make new seat backs for my carrier and need some of these. If no-one knows of a retail outlet, I guess I'll order a quantity from the first source Sean has shown (minimum order $50) and make them available to others.
