I'm looking for a steel shield boss for my center grip round shield. Something that can be easily attached to a wooden shield frame.
Anyone have any ideas on where I can snatch one up at a decent price asap?

For the mild steel ones, just drill holes where you want them, and rivet it to the shield. We use rivets here because bolts stand proud of the back surface and can get in your way, and marshals have trouble with them. If you want to be able to take it off easier, go ahead and use nuts and bolts.
Stainless bosses are a bit more trouble, they take a special drill bit and patience, or a punch heavy enough to put the holes in the harder material. I can probably put some holes there for you, just let me know.
The Onion and small conical bosses both come with 4 holes already in them, as well.
