Default Metal End Link Upgrade

Got my metal end links from Gene Culley but found that they require a larger nut than stock - turns out it's a 12mm. Problem is I can't find a 12mm in a flanged nut just the plain one without that flange. Does anyone have a source for these? I'll email Gene C. to see what he says.

Chime in if you can help... Thanks

Just had mine done by the dealer when I took it in for service. The right front one was torn really bad. The remaining three where also shot. The newer metal ones make a difference.
