banana seat mounting grommets?

[CRASH]

Anyone know the actual name? I'm guessing. But those metal "holes" in the banana seat where you mount the seat to the sissy bar. I need a couple sets and I'm looking for a source. Ebay came up with nothing, but maybe I'm using the wrong terminology?

Or does anyone have any I could get from you?

Hey, a shoe repair place is coming to mind. Try checking 1 or more if you have to.

Grommets would be accurate terminology.

Some ppl use tent / tarp grommets, which have wider flanges and not real 'correct' ( I have those I could send, but you'd have to improvise a tool to install, can't send my crimp tool ).
There was a guy on the old MBF forum was repopping the correct Schwinn / Persons style, used to sell on ebay but not seen any in a bit. Need a few of those myself.
Sounds like you're going to try n cover one yourself ?

They are called eyelets/grommets/metal holes, etc...

Any idea what size?

This one has multiple sizes. I'm guessing the ones for a banana seat are 5/32.

If you read the reviews on that though people are saying this kit only has one side of the grommet which apparently makes them eyelets?

Edit: Looks like that's true. This leather place looks like it has grommets and eyelets listed seperately with grommets being 2 pcs and eyelets being one piece.

These look like they're pretty close. I wonder if that Harbor Freight tool would actually work with a 2 pc grommet?

I could use some of these too.

But the flange on those is huge. That might even hang over the edge of the seat.

Those flanges are big. If you find some and get a big bag they'd probably be easy to get rid of....I could use a few.
