Default Saddlebag rail holes

I have been looking everywhere to find something that will cover the holes left in the saddlebag rails. Your spikes are perfect. Where did you get those machined and any chance they will reproduce or sell online?

Take the rail coupling, screw and picture to a machine shop, have the spikes made of 316 stainless steal. Should take about an hour. My buddy made mine where I work, the price was right. I have no plans to reproduce or manufacture this product. If you want a picture of it broke down PM me.
