How about Moss 402-550 ? Can't tell from their description if they have the
Nyloc insert, but they are listed for the TR2-4 oil filter housing, so
should be 5/16 NF, and the web site says they are chromed. Not cheap at
$3/each but if you've got to have one ...
If the insert is missing, then a little Vibratite or Loctite should hold
them.
Not an acorn nut, but something like MMC 60205K47 would be quite attractive,
too.
