    My factory manual states that there are wingnuts for the battery hold down. Anyone have a pic of these or what type they are. Mine were replaced with nuts, want to go back to original.

    Take the nut with you to Home Depot and get the same size wing nut. They carry them..

    I know that it is a 1/4x20 thread, but were they the same as is available today, or stamped, cast, etc... I know a new chinese wing nut will fit, looking for a wing nut that would be correct for 1957 production, but maybe I'm just being too detailed (anal).
