Default where are the nuts?

Hi, quick question. I'm soon going to change the front damper assemblies and springs on Mo and want new strut mount nuts - 13mm, and damper nut - 15mm.
The local car spares shop has 13mm nuts but they're tiny compared to the proper ones.
Just looked on ebay and all they offer are the removal tools
Can someone post a link please.
Thank you

I assume they are items 11 and 13 here ...
https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001542
but they are marked NLA . I would expect they will be supplied with the component they attach

Unfortunately not. I don't mind using the old ones with a bit of Loctite, but they are locknuts themselves with the plastic ring thing in them and would prefer new.
I could get some from ebay but it means buying the mount itself. I don't need new mounts, just the nuts.
I'll keep searching.
Thanks Chris

Just found some at Endon supplies bought 4 nut&washer sets. £12.09 including postage.
Just the damper nuts for the time being, will now look for mount nuts.

Default Strut mount nuts

I've just bought six of the genuine article from A E Wilcox in (I think) Gloucestershire, but you will find them on Google. They appear to be the last stock of the genuine ones with the built in washer- Wilcox's had about 150 left two weeks ago. Cost about £18.00 including postage.
