Default detachables fix? Plastic on mounts keeps breaking

Anyone know of a good fix for the plastic sleeves that keep breaking on the detachables hardware? Other than just buying a new mounting kit again?
Anyone know of a way to jst get the plastic sleeves rather than having to buy the whole mounting kit HD part# 53804-06?
I need both large rear plastic sleeves.
Thanks,
Phil

The docking points are available separately without having to buy the whole kit, but YES, as stated above go with forum member gilbos440rt's product that is linked above. Much better than HD's.
