The Skokie company you mentioned is not Schwalms. It is AER (antique engine restoration). Schwalms is in

Re: shaft play
Bratton's or Snyder's has the "fake" nuts you questioned. Bratton's # 12300 and Snyder's # A8501-MBM. Easy pump removal W/O removing radiator. I think all the venders also carry them.
