AMK does not have them.

They are not available new. Have to find good used ones.

The older service replacement strut rod bushing/washer kits usually have correct nuts also.

Thanks for mentioning this, Charles.

Most of the service kits that have been fairly recently offered are "newer" with the replacement nuts. Getting tougher to find an older kit.

The good news is with Millions of 65/66 Mustangs produced there are still many nuts available for salvage . It will just take some outside the box thinking if you don't have ready access to any.   I have been replating nice used ones for years so never needed to check AMK for them.
