Why can't you just get a new set of nuts?

You can always try ebay for a replacement one.

Perhaps if you post up a picture of your nuts, someone might have a couple which are surplus to their requirement ;-)

Try taking them to a local engineering company they might be able to assist and it might be a cheap option.
