[Fot] wheel studs

[malaboge at aol.com]

FOTer's-

I'm sure plenty of us are olde enuf to recall the original Trans Am cars.? They utilized lug nuts on their Minilites that were about three inches in length and had the octagonal nut extending about two and a half of those inches.? Unfortunately, they are only threaded about one inch inside, but I have been able to chuck those puppies up in a lathe and cut the outside diameter down to whatever I needed for the OD (within reason) to fit the wheels.? If you are running any type of spacer behind the wheel, you can?shorten it just enough to make the length so that it will just approach the?hub.? They are open at the other end so whatever length stud you use can stick out.?They are still being produced.? I'm not in the shop, but ISTR that the company is in southern Cal.? Works slick!?


On a new bag of cotton balls...is the top one meant to be thrown away?
??????????????????????????? Nick in Nor Cal

Do they have to be Revolution nuts? I have just figured out how to use
Cragar nuts for a set of vintage Astrali wheels I have. Involves using a
sleeve, as the shanks have to be 3/4" diameter, and these are not available
heter in the states. Let me know if  you would like further info.
