Default fairing cam bolt, plastic rivets

i lost the cam bolt that holds the top of the right fairing to the stay in front of my knee. the left cam bolt has a little plastic washer on the back that keeps it from falling out, but the right one does not, and i undid it and forgot about it. where can i get one of these, and one of the plastic washers so if i make that mistake again, i can just go back and tighten it later?

also, i want to replace all those little push-in phillips head plastic rivets that hold the lower fairing, as well as assorted junk in the intake tract, together. i don't want phillips head ones, but i want them to be secure and snug. i've got 2 types right now, both of which are phillips head, but some of which can be pushed out from the back, making them easier to remove. the push-out kind do not keep the plastic very tight. have any of you found a good solution to these things? and where can i pick about 20 of these up? i want to replace all of them at the same time.

Those are what is known as self-retaining and are usually very high quality in the fit and finish dept.
and i undid it and forgot about it.
Poor mechanic skills leads to calls to an OEM or special parts dealer.
