Mike,
You should be able to find those at most well stocked hardware stores.
Unlike the bolts, the grade of most american made nuts...esp. nyloc style...are
of usable grade and quality for your lbc. I would NOT reuse the old ones
unless forced to (ie. late night roadside repair).

Subject: nyloc nuts (was Re: Spit rear end trouble found)
i was just thinking about this today at lunch. i'm in the process
of repairing/restoring/mending all of the little things the DPO
could or would not do. to this end i'd like to build up a stock
of nyloc nuts to have on hand. can someone recommend a selection
of nuts (nylocs :) to have on hand? i'd hate to have to mailorder
two 5/16-20's just to finish a job.
