Since the newest Holley I ever installed was a haystack Holley on a 1956 Ford, I have no personal experience with your issue.

But from the posted pictures, I think after I tried the first one; I would have gone back into the shop, turned on the A.C., measured the O.D. of the nut, pulled out a piece of hex brass the next size smaller, and fabricated 4 new nuts from the smaller O.D. hex on the lathe. Take about 10 minutes.

If these things are that much trouble, someone somewhere probably has them for sale.
