Steve, I got some from Moss or TRF a couple years ago when I put mine together. I'm not sure which but either should have them. They don't list them as TR7-8. Just tell em you need the same snaps as a TR6. They used the same plastic ones too. Moss or TRF would be your best bet since you are in the USA.

My biggest hurdle was getting the pop rivets to hold as the car has been taken apart more than once. I had a couple keep pulling the snap & rivet off the body till I got longer rivets.

The plastic studs are difficult to find, I have only found them at TRGB. Must admit I haven't tried S&S.

They were used on all convertible Triumphs through the 60's and 70's at least.

Roadster Factory has some in their TR6 catalog labeled "plastic" so maybe they'll be the right ones - I ordered a pile of them anyway. Next challenge will be figuring out how to work with the different size holes behind the ones that have already popped off. 3 fasteners gone, 3 different size holes!
