privacy curtain

I found some nice mountable magnets in the Lee Valley hardware catalog which we used to make up a privacy curtain. I used 3/4" magnets for the top and 1/2" magnets for the sides. It goes up in a couple of seconds and folds away just as quick. The magnets simply screw into the header. It helps to keep the van cool when parked as a bonus.

Do you have a part name/number for those screw in magnets?
Looking online and don't see them

Thanks a lot! I have also looked on the lee valley (online) catalog and can't find these magnets. I see they have the rare earth magnets, but it sounds like the ones you used had screws or something on one side of them? Also, did you modify a curtain to fit or make that yourself? Looks good!
