Do you know of a source?

Most industrial supply or hardware supply companies should have something made to the same standard made of zinc. Lots of Cobra parts hunts start with a study of what McMaster-Carr Supply offers for example. Being of the same standard doesn’t mean every tiny detail will be the same. I bought sample quantities from several companies and the match to a Cobra part was anywhere from looks generally the same to close enough only somebody knowledgeable will see anything amiss.

The only new old stock one exactly the same in every detail as I have found on Cobras came with a collection of new old stock 1950s Fords parts. Somebody was selling off a collection of 1950s Ford battery trays, holders, and hardware. I bought all the j-bolts and small hardware. In that collection was one perfect wing nut.
