Matrix - that's why I asked - if it's round, just drill holes in a metal sheet and make your own.

I saw an article about these somewhere. There are different sizes for hex nuts and conical rivets. I think the one to make the hex nuts is basically a thick piece of PE with a nut shaped hole etch into it. Heat the plastic and jam it down in the hole, pull it out and shave off the nut.
