I'm really looking for the original ones, especially for the windage tray nut.
Those are quiet specific, all metal but still with a thread locking mechanism.
Interesting, is the locking feature re-usable?
I guess so, basically they are what we call here "stove nut". The inner hole is not entirely round, so the thread rubs a little, enough to prevent it from jiggling.
Usually stove nuts are ovalish, from the pic the GM's seems slightly triangular.

Stover nuts or prevailing torque.

I thought you were describing some kind of mechanical lock.
