If you got the buttons elsewhere (Happs) they could be 3/16" so you'll need the .187" (4.7625mm) QDs. Measure the spades on your buttons before ordering any QDs, or you'll be unhappy with the results.
If you can't wait for your QDs to be delivered, and you have .25"s you can find packs of 10 in the automotive aisle at your local Whatever-Mart. That pack of 10 will cost about what Peale charges for 100 though, so it might be worth the wait!

OK cheers, but I cant find that size, its a bit too specific! Do you think 5mm would do it?

I don't see why it wouldn't be anything but fabulous
