The ones on my 74 are chromed steel and there is no problem.
However, I suspect that for what you are going to pay to have yours
chromed (or rechromed) you could probably buy new ones anyway.
Look into some bronze exhaust nuts, they supposedly work the best.

According to ZFD, the current AN 06-3988 exhaust nuts/bolts/roses/lockrings/hollow screws :roll: are now chrome plated bronze.

Actually, not meaning to be argumentative here Mr. Hobot, but the fork "nuts' you have refered to here are called "Fork Top Tube bolts"--I recon due to the same Brit engineer who named the exhaust lockring. Maybe this is why some folks receive the wrong parts when they place orders to vendors in England with out supplying the part numbers---just as thought.
I'd reckon that most English suppliers would know exactly what you meant if you asked for "Exhaust nuts" or "Fork Top Nuts", just as they'll know what is meant by a "swinging arm" when you mean a "pivoting fork" or when you use the plural "forks" when you mean only one. We're practical motorcyclists, not engineering pedants. :roll:
The Fork top nut in particular is threaded on the inside and the outside. What is the order of precedence ?
To my mind, if it's got a hole through the middle then it's a nut (or an arsehole and that's not applicable in this case

)You're absolutely right about the need to use part numbers. Generally my normal conversation is peppered with 04- and 06- sequences.
You're wrong about the stiff upper lip though , Old Boy. I attacked a very decent bottle of Caol Ila at about 19.30 hours and I'm only capable of dribbling and rambling by this time in the evening.
If we're discussing Norton specifics, their parts books from the 1920s and 1930s refer to bolts and screws as "pins" . I've never come across this as a term for threaded fasteners in any other context and wonder if this is some sort of Black Country dialect term ?
