Hi James,
Murphy fasteners are also know as "common sense turn button" fasteners. There are many different versions from our regular T vendors, in both brass and nickel finishes.
Keep crankin',

It is for a 1916 Touring, here's my confusion. It is fitting to the sides of the Top Boot so it is mounting directly to fabric. All the fasteners I see have two screw holes on the base and those attach to wood. Which ones work with two pieces of fabric only?

I believe the factory issued top boot for 1916 is the same as 1917 - no Murphy fasteners:

It all depends on how authentic you want to be. A real Murphy fastener usually has an M with a circle around it.
