David Howe has confirmed the Lift-the-Dot fasteners were available at this time; here's his comments:
Re subject of Lift the Dots on Austin Sevens these were used from late 26 to hold the two folding front sidescreens either open or closed.
There was a small leather strap screwed to the side screen with a 'female' lift the dot at the end. The close the side screen this is clipped onto the 'male' Lift the Dot screwed into the door frame above the inside door lock. The 'male' Lift the Dot to hold the sidescreen open is screwed into the outside of the bodywork alongside the windscreen mounting. The Chummy also uses Turn Buckles the hold the handbrake/fabric joint cover in place and under the rear seat to hold the hood bag straps in place.
You can see these straps on the original front sidescreens on enclosed snap of my Chummy.

Sadly David doesn't want to join the Forum, but at least he is happy to pass on his knowledge.
