Anyone know of a source for the special thread hex nuts used to retain the bridge washers on metal valve stems made by Schrader, Dill, and Bridgeport?

Thanks.

Thanks, but those .308" hex nuts on ebay won't fit on the .40625" threads of a TR-83A metal valve stem used by Ford in the early 1930s.

Can they be drilled and tapped out to the .40625 thread?

I've got lots of original bridge nuts and washers in addition to various stems, dust covers, and core removers
