I'm sure you've found a source for those tacks since 2022, Geoff, but if not, I wonder would any of these be what you're after?

from the UK:

Many thanks for these tack supplier addresses!!
It is interesting that in the USA these can be $70 per pound and in the UK £7 per kilo ..... that is some massive difference!!

Whoa! I hadn't looked at the prices - that is a wild discrepancy alright!

They may not be the exact ones but the seller might have the appropriate size though.
