[Paddlewise] Adding D-rings to a folder

Having found I could not fit more than half of my VIS (very important
stuff) inside my Greenland II (including some big stuff between each
paddlers' knees), I need to add D-rings to the deck.  Is there a source
of nice glue-on D-rings -- preferably with a black semi-circular base --
that I could affix to my hull at the hull-deck joint?  Folbot has none
and says that it is impractical for the factory to sew on new ones.
Also, I posted to the Folbot BBS with no success.

I have also belatedly figured out that a substantial amount of small
stuff can be bunged-in under the side decks, if loops and lines are
first run along the middle longeron. Probably 30% of the boat's capacity
is there.
