There is a post going on at the NCRS site over original wings nuts and repro wings nuts for 63 and possibley all wing nuts used on air cleaners in the late 50's and 60's , chromed , not chromed , size , etc, etc,
Many of the posts give wall thickness size and tooling marks. It seems that some nuts that were used in 60-62 passenger cars, unchromed, were plated and used on corvettes , GM just changed numbers and vendors etc, etc, etc,
The NCRS site seems down, so I thought I would let you all look at my nut.
I have owned the car for 42 years now, an I am the second owner. I don't believe the nut has ever been away from the top and I know the top has not been away from me.
What do you think compared to the repros or do I have a 43 year old service nut ?
