70 TA hood scoop to air cleaner wing nuts
 
As I don't know if what I've seen are original or not, are they black oxide? and does anyone have a picture of an original? What is the most accurate repro available? Thanks! Andy

I believe mine are original. More like chrome plated.

That's exactly what mine look like.

!/4"-20 the originals were polished chrome. But they do tarnish and eventually rust a little. my old originals looked pretty rough.

I went to Lowe's and bought two stainless steel 1/4"-20 wingnuts. I compared the old ones to the new ones while I was at the store. You can't tell the difference except the new ones look great. Those are about the only thing I ever found that was inexpensive when putting these cars back right.

Maybe $0.28 each.

This is the one wingnut I do have...I guess it's an original...stamped "PAL"

This is one of the wingnuts that came with my car, so it appears I have at least one original, and it's marked "PAL". Thanks for the replies! Andy

Mine are an actual tapped wing nut, not the stamped single thread style.

Andy70RA3 12-01-2021 01:14 PM

so would those be correct also?

Maybe we could start a poll to see who has which type on their car?
