There is a company called AuVeCo that supplies all kinds of fasteners, clips, chrome screws etc to the bodyshop and upholstery trade. Most wholesale places have the items in stock as you have to buy a sortiment of their stuff when you become their dealer. Kinda like Dorman products in auto parts stores.
Always worth a try.

Actually I found another post where wall anchors were used and it worked rather well. I used a #14 wall anchor and used a drill bit to make the inside of the anchor just a tad larger. Then I cut it down to the size of the old barrel clip. The little tabs on the anchor that spread need to be cut off after you drill. The anchor fits flush & snug against the sheet metal and the emblem pushed in tight. Tools used ..... a vise , drill / bit , exacto knife and snips/cutters.
