Ok, so far I've found a low of $10 (approx) at TRF and a high of $24 at
Moss. That is per wheel stud, 16 per car. So figure between $160 and
$384, just for new wheel studs this season. Yikes!
Really the question was: what are Spitfire racers doing for wheel studs?
The TR7 stud is a direct drop in to the Spitfire hub, no machining required.
That's why I've been headed in that direction.
If there isn't a direct drop in, it's worth machining the hubs to take
something common, so I don't confuse the parts counter kids with one of them
funny furrin cars if I need a replacement in a hurry. And something I know
ARP carries so I can do it properly.
Anyone willing to share their secrets?
TIA
