Hi, Yes the original nuts are made from Steel and are metric M8 fine. They sometimes get a bit rusty and can be difficult to remove and look rather grotty. I made a set of brass ones for my car and they looked awesome and they won’t rust. Let me know if you’re interested and I can make you a set. :D
