Fairing lugs

Broken fairing lugz and alternatives for replacements. I know they cant be bought anywhere but has anyone made some up?
Maybe take a bit of ABS plastic rod and shape a bell end on it?

Pop down local car parts place and have a rummage.

I used a aluminium bolt, which I had ground down the head to give just enough for base, which I then used epoxy resin to attach and reshape in to original design.
