Re: Auto box rebuild
You could try contacting this fella as he can rebuild auto boxes.https://t2five.com/ Failing that maybe ask here https://www.thesamba.com/vw/ Very few people know about autos in this country. The yanks use autos more than we do.

Re: Auto box rebuild
I asked on the samba for you and got this reply.
"A standard 8mm x 1.25 pitch nut will work. I'd also add a wave washer under the nut. 4 total.
The original nuts from memory had a copper look to them, but I don't believe it is critical at this point to have the exact part. Here is the part number if you need it. N 011 008 22
E D I T: Sorry just reread your post. The studs are shouldered studs. Not sure that is necessary. Part number is N 900 044 02. They are 8mm thread x 1.25 pitch. They are 56mm long. If you can't find the actual studs, you can make studs from long bolts with a little patience."
