If you are looking for the proper round brass rim nuts for your brass T, contact Dan Mc Eachern in Alameda, California. He made new ones from a mint original I had, but hasn't advertised them. He gets $20 each for them, and they are perfect. If you have doubts about what I have to say, check the latest edition of the Model T Judging guidelines published by the MTFCi.

I bought some of them for my 1912 Flanders, they are excellent!

You need to make a leather or felt gasket for the bottom of the rim nuts. As I recall, I used an 11/16" punch for this, and you need a 3/8" for the center hole.
