I’m sure I’m overlooking something stupid but the chain adjusters are quite far out and clash with the hex of the nut rather than the plain diameter section. I have some alloy nuts as well as the original nuts and it’s the same with both. See photo.
A thick washer on the inside would not leave enough thread engagement.
I can make some nuts with a longer plain section but would like to know what’s wrong. Thanks

I have a quite original '57 and the nuts have a much wider round section for the adjuster to bear upon.
 
As hhh said, they should look more like the pic below, Andover show them in stock.IMG_5928.jpeg
 
Must be that the ones with the bike are not correct. I’ll make some. Thanks for the photo and info.

Throw the alloy nuts over the fence.
