Odd size nut covers

Morning fellow builders,

Where do you get the odd sizes nut covers from? Ie for the suspension.

From memory the head sizes (from flat to flat) are:
22mm ~ 7/8ths?
19mm ish ~ 3/4ths?
14mm ~ 5/8ths?

Not sure I've got the old money units right but I seem to remember the suspension still uses them.

All I can find on the bay are M6 - M12

All help appreciated,
C

Ones I had would fit the odd sizes as they where pliable (not the hard plastic variety); might be worth looking for. They would fit without glue, just snug push fit.
