!/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.
