Arrow Switch retention nuts

Anyone know where I can get the nuts that hold the choke, windshield wiper, headlight switches? Please see pic.
Looking for new.
I checked Harmons, Tuckers, and LMC with no luck.

Are these called retention nuts? I did a forum search and didn't see anything.

Re: Switch retention nuts

They are most commonly referred to as bezels. I am not aware of anyone making new replacements. I'd suggest a wtb ad, swap meets, junk yards or perhaps eBay may turn up NOS items.

Re: Switch retention nuts

Any junkyard I go to- I try to get them if I see 'em. Which ones you looking for?

Re: Switch retention nuts

Looking for the wiper, choke and the headlight.
Are these stainless steel or chromed from the factory?

Thanks

Bezels for HL and wipers
Retaining nut,from behind, for the choke (and throttle if equipped)

Re: Switch retention nuts

Re: Switch retention nuts

That'd be great!

Are these stainless steel or chromed from the factory?
If stainless, I guess these can be easily polished
