If you want the exact ones it will be hard to find. The ones commonly available at stores are not exact but they do work

Re: acorn nuts...

The ones at the HD dealer seem to be good qualtiy with the extra chrome plating. A little pricey, don't know about exactly.

Re: acorn nuts...

The closest we have seen to original are from Midwest acorn nut company. you probably can do a search and find a dealer.
