If you've access to a lathe and are happy to estimate the tolerances, you can almost certainly make them up. Otherwise, it'll be a FIAT only part.

Never done it, but I suspect you drift them out from the opposite side, press back in.

AFAIK, ePER is accurate if it's an on line version: you might try Fluffy the Impaler or Shop4Parts.
