South African builders: Flush set needed

I just discovered that no one stocks the mushroom heads with rubber guards in South Africa and not wanting to be held up for 2-3 weeks on the wing skins I was hoping someone may be willing to loan me one or give me their used one for a brand new one ordered from Cleveland or Spruce when it arrives.

The type I am looking at specifically is the flush swivel head with rubber guard -

But will be happy with the standard mushroom head with rubber guard - http://www.cleavelandtool.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RSMR60#.UIaI-m83uUM

I already have the standard unguarded head but it is leaving horrible marks in the metal despite several polishes and already ruined one wing skin. I would like very much to button up these wings now so that they can go to a waiting painter asap, Anyone who can help please give me a shout


Thanks guys
 
The rubber guard won't eliminate rub marks on the skin. The rubber is just there to keep the set from walking around. The swivel set allows some minor misaalignment without putting a dent in the skin. If you want to prevent the rub marks on the skin, use rivet tape and make sure your set is nice and shiny polish. If you don't have rivet tape you can use clear packing tape. Find the least-sticky tape like the 3m/scotch "magic" tape.
