There is some slight variation in the thickness of the nuts, some are pretty thin. So these could be okay. Can you tell if they are the correct thread size?
It appears that some of the bolt holes were drilled out to make them larger. That's not a good thing. Not much left of the decal but the shell seems solid.

Cheers Terry,
The thread size seems fine and they appear to have been there from the beginning. Yes, someone has drilled two of the nuts out perhaps to liberate the liner. Thankfully they haven’t oversized the holes but they’ve been brutal and have damaged the shell around the hole at the rear.
Thanks for your reply chum

It looks a fine shell, do you intend to install a liner? Sympathetically done, it would look very nice. I did one a number of years ago, and used Bundeswehr straps.

Cheers Steve,
I have an ET68 FJ shell in better condition than this one and I’ve been trying to piece an original liner together for about 6 years. Unfortunately, original parts are like chickens teeth to find. I have a repro liner and straps but will probably just leave this one as is for now. I’ll probably just stick a couple of repro bolts into it for display.
