I believe the originals were not brass, instead they were a special 'tall'
steel nut (possibly a special alloy of steel, they seem very soft).
I'm using original steel nuts everywhere except the outermost, exhaust-only
ones (without the clamp piece). The ones I use there are solid brass, and I
got them at the local auto parts store. I believe they're used for the
headpipe to manifold connection on some popular GM V8s.
