S/S \"poppers\" or pressstud supplier and tool

The curtainy bits in the heads on my boat are attached by "poppers" you know, the ones bout 15mm diameter, ish.

But they fitted manky brass ones, so i have ground them off and need to replace with stainless steel, of which i have got some but need more AND i need a pressing tool too, which needs to be a bit beefy cos you can't tap them a bit as with the brass.

Any idea of where i can find a supplier?

Very common item. Many chandleries will stock them or specialists such as Toomer and Hayter (just bought some from there) or CJ Marine

A decent hardware/ironmongers.....no not B&Q and the likes, will do them in SS. I needed some (1) while away from the workshop. I found a kit for around 5 quid'ish which gave the poppers and the bases to screw to a solid surface and die and punch including the closing tool. They were made by Hopkiss.
