Default Radiator support rods- nuts & washers?

finding lots of missing/incorrect/incomplete fasteners on our new '29.

looking for an illustration and/or description of nuts and washers used on the rods at both ends.

is it in the Judging Standards somewhere?

FWIW, the repro rods I bought (I don't recall from where) were a larger diameter than the originals, and used different (although still SAE head size) nuts. I can be easily corrected, but the original rods may have been 1/4" and the repros maybe 13 mm?
