I dug out the orignal air cleaner for my '51 today. The top nut is definitely 1/4-20. It is a stamped wing nut with traces of bronze paint that was used on the engine. It was greasy and dirty so I left it to soak overnight. I can post a picture of it if you need to see it.

Thanks for all the information on the wing nut. Will be getting a new one soon!

Hi, is it a solid wing nut or a pressed steal one ?

Pressed steel. As I mentioned above, I can post a photo if needed.
