I need about 10 of these (the gravity-defying plastic thing, not the quarter) for my Hobie, and I can't find them anywhere. I'm not sure what it's called and can't even find it in the Hobie catalog. Maybe if it had a name (other than "doodad") I might have better luck.

In the past, I had great luck getting things like this from ACK, but they don't exist anymore.

OK, I did find it, but I'm not going to pay $4.59 each. I'll be looking for alternatives, so let me know if you have any suggestions...

If it works for what you are trying to achieve, you can get 10 each of Hooks for about the same price at amazon.

Or, you can get those same type for .79 each (no screw) from KFS:

Those might be too large for some of the places I need to put them.

I ordered the bungee buttons above. They're only $0.75 each, but shipping was $7, so it was $1.50 each for 10 of them. Still, only 1/3rd the price of Hobie...
