Substitutes for Vintage Losi Ball Studs?

Has anyone found a good substitute for vintage Losi 4-40 ball studs? I was wondering about Custom Works, since they're still producing in Imperial.

I'm looking to freshen up my recent XXX with some parts I already have, rather than do what I did with my JRX Pro SE and convert them all to metric, though that's probably the more sustainable route.

Yes, Custom Works have the correct ball size. I believe that CRC is as well.

If you have some plastics that are stripped, Schumacher ball studs have the same ball size but with slightly larger M3 threads.

Perfect. Thanks!
