    I am having problems locating the nylocs with yellow inserts. Superformance don't have any and the only other source I know of is Newco in California and they don't seem to be interested in responding to my emails or phone calls.

    Does anyone know a source?

    Are these for the Suspension or general body fasteners?

    I bought the nylocks with a solid white insert, a packet of RIT Yellow dye and after about 12 hours in the dye I was able to have new yellow Nylocks. I have handfuls of the smaller sizes, LMK.

    The OEM suspension nuts are different and some restoration choices need to be made.
    They have sharp edges to the metal flats which make them unique and they're on the car in a highly visible location so need to be preserved. If you Zinc plate the nut then you'll lose the yellow color to the Nylock

    In 2010 Lee at Rutlands was selling modern, round edged, 10mm and 12mm yellow Nylocks for the suspenion not sure now

    Not before I bought a set in 2010 and then decided to restore the originals.

    Still waiting to hear what the needs of the OP are, SimonC, I may have extras to offer
