Does anyone know where to purchase the nuts that hold the brake drum to the wood wheel.
They are 3/8 X 16 and are about 1/4" thick and oversized. The standard 3/8 x 16 nut uses a 9/16 socket these hub nuts are 3/8 x 16 and use an 11/16 socket. Two sizes bigger ? Are these Jam Nuts ?
Try Langs Old Car Parts 1 800-872-7871. I believe they are the same as the nuts for Model T hub bolts.

Thanks they certainly look the same in the pictures. I found Stainless Steel carriage bolts that are the correct size also I was looking at Grade 5 Flanged Hex Nuts. These are the same surface area and wouldn't need to be peened over to lock in place.
I will ask the wheelwright what he thinks when I see him.
If not the T bolts are another option if the correct size ?.
The T bolts if the correct size may be a better match.
Do searches on " Extra Wide and/or Jam Hex Nuts . The over sizing of nut was common as harden to grade was more expensive . DB had some of there own hardware made and marked to get quality they wanted .
