Curtain studs

[Fenders]

The curtains on my 2004 Bavaria32 have elastic loops on each lower corner. These are attached to metal studs to prevent the curtains swinging out from the cabin wall.
I have 2 that are missing.
I have been to curtain shops, drawers, Bavaria Yachts, caravan retailers and trawled the web but no joy.
Firstly, does anyone know what these metal studs might be called and where I might find them?

My B42 had a similar problem but maybe different detail. I found a fix.
Can you post a photo?

I know which ones you mean - I have no idea what they're called or where to find them. Have a look at http://www.jclarkemarine.com/ maybe you can find them there. What I would do is take one of the remaining ones to someone with a lathe, because they look like a very simple thing to turn from a piece of stainless rod.

Thanks for the link and your suggestion of turning new ones on a lathe is a great idea.

Thanks again

If you google Persenningknopf (I have no idea how this would translate into English) you should find what you are looking for. SVB in Germany sells them as cover tensioners / lacing buttons here: https://www.svb24.com/en/cover-tensioner-lacing-button.html

Thanks again for the links.

The problem I had was not knowing what they were called, but now with your information it becomes so much easier to search.

Maybe I should change the title of this thread!

I hope others will benefit from this.

Thanks again
