Hello Mark,
as far as the insulators go, that might be like rocking horse poo, except for special order from M2 USA, the keepers on the other hand can be sourced in VK in many different forms. here is one: https://www.unitedfasteners.com.au/produ.../push-nuts
the specialist bolt and fastener stores (not bunnos) will know what your after, they are often called "Push Nuts" in some industries. You may need to 'shim' the holes for the insulators as they become oval in shape when the booms see some wear-an-tear. I have in the past use sections of fizzy drink cans or thicker material to be the shim and use a G clamp to push the button in to get a tight fit.
I have some photos here of the repairs to me M2 6M2WL http://www.users.on.net/~pedroj/6m2wl_m2...epair.html
