I have a great collection of R8 horizontal arbors (for use with a
Bridgeport horizontal milling setup) but 3 of my arbors are missing
the nuts. I'm looking for:

1¼-7 LH
1-8 RH
3/4-10 LH

I'm sure I could get some 12L14 and turn them on the lathe and get
reasonable finish on the threads, but I'd rather buy them and get the
ground threads.

Anyone have a source for stuff like this?

Well, these are all standard sizes and even the left hand ones are
listed in the MSC catalog under 'Finished Hex Nuts'. The unfortunate
thing is the purchase quantity required; not to bad for the 1-8 RH but
there's an ouch factor for the LH.

1-8 RH grade 2 plain steel: Price each per 100, 0.55, pkg qty 10
3/4-10 LH plain steel: Price each per 100, 0.67, pkg qty 20
1 1/4-7 LH plain steel: (hold on tight) Price per 100 $8.22, pkg qty 10

What the price each per package quantity is isn't stated, either is if
less than package quantities are available. So, yes, off the shelf but
minimum quantities could be a show stopper. How bad do you want them

Sorry, I don't need any either.
