Agricultural stores or farm stores normally stock them for the Farmers.

These look remarkably similar to "bonnet pins" that I used to use to hold down the bonnet in my RS2000 - rally driving days....
I was Secretary and editor of Milton Keynes and District Motor Club, for years aaaaah those were the days, before I realised that rallying was actually cheaper than buying a boat....;-) You could try Demon Tweaks if they are still around....

Yes I know what you mean, it was though in my day: RS2000 - I can't believe how much these cars are going for nowadays.
I recall my last rebuild included collecting a bare shell in primer from Leeds (£500) , taking it to safety devices, having it turreted, wheel arches, safari rad mounts, roller bearing top mounts, 4 linked, fully firewalled, widened tunnel, pedal box mounts, fully seam welded, world cup cross member, gussets and 16 point roll cage, all for around £500 shell number SD172. She handled beautifully, I won 13 Rallies and drove the service barge for our RAC champion winner (in an Avenger) John Parsons - aaaaah those were the days! Goodness knows what that would all cost nowadays. Apologies to OP for thread drift...!
