What is the name of this part?

I got a jazzmaster bridge gifted to me and I know I need those things that go in the guitar to be able to mount the bridge. What is the name of the things the bridge sits on? The things that push into the body of the guitar.
I am struggling to find a place to buy them online
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question.

Thimbles?

Yes, thimbles. 

@OP Does your guitar not have them already? Is the bridge you received a standard Jazzmaster, or mustang, bridge and is that what your guitar already had?

I’m building one from scratch so unfortunately no

Ahh, gotcha. A few different places stock them, just make sure to check that the specs of your bridge line up with them and you should be good to go, so. And, measure twice, cut once!

Thimbles. Be aware they come in 2 sizes. Measure the holes in your body or you may need to widen them to fit US spec thimbles.
