5/8 diameter grommet

Does anybody know where I can get a grommet with a 5/8" outer flange? I accidentally took out my 5/8" forstener bit instead of my 1/2" for the recess cuts for the belly grommet. I have a half dozen of the 5/8" grommets but I don't remember where I got them. I need 24. NJtackle doesn't carry them neither does Cape Cod Tackle. Thanks for the help.

Try a fabric store if MikeCC doesn't have any. Those are large, 5/8".
