    They are extra-tall acorn nuts, as shown in the (hopefully) attached picture.  You need the zee-shaped retainer brackets too (four of the; one bracket for two gills).

    Where is a good place to find these nuts?  I have the backing plates.

    I already have them, but if I were looking I'd try R/T Specialties and eBay.  I think I have a link to R/T on my website (first link below).

    FYI to 'Guest' site surfers:  In my brief experience, the photos don't show unless you are registered and logged in.
