Yeah... These buttons are $1.85 for each one that goes in each hole.
Sure, $1.85 isn't a lot of money, but it just seems like a lot for a
tiny stamped piece of steel with a screw to go with it. I need about
25 of them and $46.25 just seems like a lot to me for the itty bitty
buttons. I'm a cheap b@stard. Sue me. :-)

Buy the cheap ones and have rust streaks all over your new paint job after
about a month. :o(

Fredericksburg 4x4 aka "Monster Joe's" there's also a place down near
roanoke (I think) in Glasgow called John's Jeep Works but I don't know
much about them as I haven't made the trip down there yet. I swear I
could walk around the first place for three days before I got bored (or
broke).
