I found mine at Ace hardware. Look for well nuts in the bins. Brand new, they look like rubber nutserts and they work in a similar manner. Use super glue at the flange to hold them in place for the first tightening.
OP
Looks like it, for a 1/2" hole

Thanks Dudes. I found these in an old post from Blaine:

I appreciate the quick help. Knowing what they are called and the size helped a lot.

After letting the touchup paint cure for a few days (helped the wait that I was out of town over the weekend), I wet sanded with 1000, then 1500 grit, and polished it by hand using Maguires polishing compound. Hard to see a difference in the photo, but it really looks good.
Here is a before shot:

The grill came out great.
Do you think you have enough clamps on the wall?? I'm assuming you're into woodworking as well.

I have a bag of those that I'll never use. They were for my old Road Glide. It's how they hold the windshield on the fairing.
Grille turned out great.
Yes he is. And he does some great hand carvings on the wood too.
OP
I am - and you can never have too many clamps….
Well time to show off some wood working projects than.

A few have been posted. Seems there was a chest he made not too long ago. I’d call it a hope chest, but I’m not sure that’s what he called it.
Thought it was for someone younger in the family. It was beautiful woodwork whatever it was.

This was his latest project. But he's posted other ones too.

@NashvilleTJ should leave a little talent for the rest of us.
That’s very nice.
Yep, I'm seriously jealous of his abilities. I can't cut a straight line to save my life when it comes to wood. Metal I fair a little better.
I'm just an OLD Hack who knows tons of useless junk.
OP
I received the cooler kit and additional AN fittings for the Setrab cooler from Blaine. I've also ordered a few more -8 AN fittings to graft everything back into the rest of the system. I know you all know this already, but the design and execution of Blaine's cooler is first rate, right down to the groove milled into the cooler fins to properly fit around the V-bar. Beautiful bracket as well.
Next is a little paint while I wait for the additional fittings.
