Default '04 Dak - Fuel Tank Shield Retainers

What does everyone do when these push washer retainers start to rust off the fuel tank shield? I can't find the right size anywhere, dealer doesn't have them, no auto parts or hardware stores.

The thing is flapping around and banging into the driveshaft sometimes. Drives me crazy. I was either gonna try and thread a nut onto the plastic stud, gob a bunch of JB Weld around it or just cut the damn thing off.

Figured I'd ask first though. See pic.
