Hello - Does anyone have the brass 5/16 flexloc nuts that are used on the exhaust pipe flanges?

You should be able to find several choices here.
In the aircraft business plain brass nuts without the little tension fingers are used to retain exhaust stacks at the cylinder heads where a great deal of vibration occurs. When torqued correctly their threads stretch and seem to loook the nut in place quite well.
