I cannot speak as to originality of using brass or copper nuts. But, from a
working stand point, they are grrrrrrrreat, with a G! They don't rust
themselves
in place, making it possible to unbolt components instead of cutting them off
with a wiz wheel. If the stud really rusts up, the bolts are softer, so they
give instead of the stud. Brass is also easy to chisel or drill if needed. I
like them a lot for exhaust work.
