scootz - 18/1/11 at 06:12 PM

I need to get some longer studs, but am struggling to find a source for them.

Can anyone recommend a supplier?

Cheers

Cool beans!

Thanks all!

Hmmmm... seems that my existing ones are about as long as you get (65mm)!

I need a little more (steady now!)... any other recommendations?

Thanks again.

How much longer, theres some 70's here

Cheers

Thanks V much Rich! I'd probably want a little more, but 70 is still better than 65!

I see there are some 75's there also, but are 14.6mm spline diameter... could I just bore out the existing hubs a little (1.6mm)?

there 70 is measured overall length, your 65 looks to be under the 'cap'... probably not much in it

It's just the shadow in the photo Dino. The original studs are 65mm in total.

80mm here http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p14525/3/8-WHEEL-STUD-80MM-LONG/product_info.html?osCsid=3b122deade71fb4dcd151595ee5b4759

Thanks Andy!

Ah... just noticed it's a 3/8th though - too narrow! Booger!

Fraid so! It's because of the spacers needed to get past the big Alcons!

mcerd1 - 19/1/11 at 06:40 PM

how think are your spacers
I got away with 63mm studs on my 15mm spacers and really thick wheel ctrs....



I think dax sourced some long M12x1.5 ones for a group buy on TD wheels a while back - I could give them a call and see what they can get if you like....

scootz - 19/1/11 at 06:47 PM

All help appreciated Robert!

scootz - 4/2/11 at 03:35 PM

Still toiling for a M12 x 1.25 (13mm spline) in 70+mm length!

I'm seeing a lot of these conversion studs, but I'm not really understanding how they work, or if they are suitable. It says that they screw into the hubs... does that mean I would have to get the hub-holes machined with the correct thread!?

Any issues with these?

Cheers (again!)

scootz - 4/2/11 at 03:41 PM

... eureka moment! Secured by a bolt on the inside face of the hub flange?

(Thanks Stewart )

scootz - 4/2/11 at 09:01 PM

Hurray!

Found some M12 x 1.5 Ford splined 80mm + 100mm ones... tenner each though
