BJ8 Rear Seat Back Upholstery Hardware

I'm in the process of reupholstering my rear seatback. I'm searching for some very small (#4?) washers that I think are called "flush mount finish washers". They appear to be nickel plated brass. I'm coming up empty. Have any of you found a source for these...or possibly have a few on hand that you'd be prepared to part with? I've attached a picture for reference. Thanks for your help.

There are several styles of countersunk finishing washers. The kind that is stamped to stand proud of the contact surface are usually for hard surfaces. The kind that are essentially a funnel shape with no spout, i.e. a truncated cone, are only suited for soft compressible surfaces such as upholstey. The latter style, as in your photo, will not cut the material and have a smaller diameter.

I have sourced some #6’s…they’re too big. Hence my search for #4. Bolt depot doesn’t stock the “flush style cup type washers” in any size as far as I can tell.
I can’t be the 1st guy down this path…

Thanks John…yes, they are similar to those. Although, I suspect they are too big. Nonetheless I’ll give moss a call on Monday to find out. Thanks for the lead.
