I bought some Amati "Single Hole Deadeyes, 2.5 mm (20/pk.) AM4280/25" from Ages of Sail.

 

The measured dimensions were 2.66 mm (0.105 inch) outside diameter, 1.13 mm (0.054 inch) inside diameter, and 1.67 mm (0.066 inch) thick. They have a groove around the outer edge for a rope/thread to fit into.

 

3/32 = 0.09375 so 0.105 is a bit larger. 1/16 = 0.0625 so 0.054 is a bit smaller. But these dimensions are pretty close to what you want.

 

Here are some photos of these "deadeyes" in use at 1:48 scale. These have been stained darker than the original color.
