A GOOD hardware store should have something that's usable.
Unless you are looking for exact replacements of original.

just need to look for them. if you weren't oppose to a change you could put instead an aluminum riv-nut as a replacement to plastic. Put some shrink tubing on the nut, to seal up.
if you don't have the special tool to install. you can use a long piece of metal with a hole, hold it with vise grips, as you tighten down the bolt through this metal and riv nut, it squeezes down to clamp on to the sheet metal. Just look for individual riv nut/nut sert at hardware store at the bins section. Also, you could use any plastic type retainer. The acorn nuts are usually stainless, chrome and brass.
Marson M39313 Aluminum Klik Thread-Setter Kit with Inserts and M39300 Tool SAE
Metric Thread Setter kit 39203
contains 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm
I found in this kit that 10-32(threads) NP is equivalent to 0.8 x 5mm.

They are called Pal nuts. They are stamped steel you need to measure the pin. They make all different sizes and types look for the acorn style that has a sealer so it doesn't hold water.
