In removing parts from my F-20 and F-12 I occasionally find that I either destroy a hex nut or it is too far rusted to have any reliable wrench surface to begin with. I could of course just replace it with a modern nut but I find that the nuts used were typically, if mysteriously, oversized by one wrench size. For example a hex nut for a 3/8's bolt would require a 5/8's wrench to remove as opposed to a 9/16's wrench as one would expect for modern hex nuts. This pattern seems to run pretty true with the other size bolts as well. If this were not enough, I find that many of these old hex nuts that are in good shape seem to have been punched from some sort of rough plate steel still having some sort of milling marks running accross their surface, and once in awhile I even find one that was not drilled on center but is whimsically eccentric in it's hole location. Does anyone know of a source for what I assume would have to be old stock International hex nuts? Or failing that, a source for hex nuts that would be oversized with regard to the wrench required for their removal?
