I just purchased a set of nuts for the upper A arms on my 1963 SWC.
Pictured are both the original and the reproduction nuts.
Of course the aftermarket ones have the same internal thread and screw onto the stud.
They don't take the same size wrench and are of a different length. Go figure.
I guess I will get the originals plated. Seems this stuff is a no brainier but it just doesn't work that way.
Inculded lock washer was zinc plated. After looking at the original one I believe they were natural or black.
I couldn't tell for sure but typically zinc nuts and washers are paired.
It's original or it's not!
