Repro- Elephant ear wing nuts for battery.

[red66toy]

Hey all! Any other early cruiser owners potentially interested in reproduction large “ear” wing nuts for the battery hold downs? Working with a local owner who has an original and looking into options. I want a pair for my truck and curious about others. I have no idea on cost at the moment (method, quantity, metal type), I know that will be a big factor in interest.
We are going to start modeling and I’ll keep this thread updated.

I’d be in for a few sets! If price is reasonable

Going to be picking it up this week most likely. We will explore different methods to reproduce. And I’ll report back the options. We may try lost wax casting but I’ll look into 3D printing in metal as well.

Yes to a pair or two depending. I wonder if they are bronze? I suspect they were sand mold cast.

Yeah good question. The friend I am getting the original one from had another cast in bronze. So that is something we will look at.
