Default Lost my nuts

They are gone! Missing are two 11/16x 18 nuts that hold the headlights onto the fenders on a 36 Ford Tudor.
This size turns out to be a scarce item. The usual old Ford sources don't seem to have them. Ever Fastenall doesn't have them. Do any of you know where I might get them?
If I find these nuts, I promise never to lose them again.

He states a minimum order of $25 before shipping costs.
"Our minimum order is $25.00 not including shipping expense. Orders submitted for less than this amount will not be accepted."

RR>>>Lost my nuts>>>They are gone!>>>

Now how do you supposed that happened? Were they stolen? Did they fall off? Did they roll away somewhere? Or did you just forget where you put them? Think man! $27 plus shipping for 3 packages of nuts!!! Jack E/NJ

Not, sure, but that is the thread for the tie rod ends. nuts might be available from speedway or someone like that.

Unless the headlamp nuts are special in some other way. Might get you out of a jam (they're jam nuts).

Just checked - a dollar 99 a piece.

Edit: or a pack of six for $3.99

When you buy new nuts, you'll find the lost ones.

Planojc & Brendan, you were close, but no cigar! I didn't find the old nuts until 8 days after receiving the new ones. Luckily, I found some other stuff in the same place as the nuts, so all is good, even if I'm out $10 for new nuts that I have no use for. Who would need 11/16" x 18 threads anyway?
