Hi James,
Murphy fasteners are also know as "common sense turn button" fasteners. There are many different versions from our regular T vendors, in both brass and nickel finishes.
Keep crankin',

Re: Where to buy Murphy Fasteners for Top Boot?
It is for a 1916 Touring, here's my confusion. It is fitting to the sides of the Top Boot so it is mounting directly to fabric. All the fasteners I see have two screw holes on the base and those attach to wood. Which ones work with two pieces of fabric only?

This kind, male twist sandwich between fabric and it’s backing plate, compress the lugs to lock
Open portion to other fabric, with its backing plate.

Re: Where to buy Murphy Fasteners for Top Boot?
I believe the factory issued top boot for 1916 is the same as 1917 - no Murphy fasteners:
