Hello,
Use the quality repo parts for most of your restoration(conduit,globe holder, pipe, handle, etc.). There are several good sources on this site. I have used Ron Scobie and was quite satisfied. The gate valve and gallon markers I would use originals(although on a 117 a trigger nozzle is acceptable and correct). I don't know if the nut is being reproduced and you may have to hunt around or fabricate one. Someone on this site will help you out...they always did me and don't forget to pay it forward.
Dave
