Close Dave,  only one source now.. Southco ..

82-11-180-16   is the zinc plated oval head stud fastener that protrudes
thru the KWM-2/2a lid

82-11-180-20  is the same stud fastener only in Stainless Steel

85-35-295-20 is the receptacle that accepts the stud , the receptacle is
mounted on the underside of the trim ring and normally held in place with 2
ea. small rivets

85-34-201-20 is the SS retainer for the stud.. where guys normally just cut
the retainer to free the stud away from the lid..

85-34-301-12  is a black nylon retainer..

Southco recommends a special tool to install the retainers, but one of
several sizes of small deep sockets work just about as well..

originally Collins used 2 providers of these fasteners, but in the later
years Southco absorbed the other manufacture and now Soutcho is the ONLY
supplier who still offers these fasteners, these fasteners are often
confused with the DZUS style but in fact they are quite different in
application ..DZUS is not even close on the real receptacle method.. they
use a spring looking scheme as well the Stud has slots , where the Proper
stud fastener has 2 small tangs or tits that protrude away from the stud..
It escapes me , but DZUS was not the other provider, DZUS is still in
business, but does not supply these style fasteners at all..
