Wheel Studs

I think studs are too hard to run a die down - unless one of you knows different?

Ive cut more threads onto a stud, just take your time and use cutting compound, however its worth mentioning something I was told, which is that studs are hardened, some people say it might weaken the stud. Mine ended up being too long anyway, but I know of a couple people using died studs and have been fine (with wide banded steels and spacers!)

That`s wicked Will. Now I know what must be done. Thanks everybody but this is the best answer yet. Hazel

Yes I know, it could be done but it would be best to call a scrutineer for the formula to discuss the issue

There is a company over here that have a longer fully threaded one listed on their system. There should be a similar part available over where you are

so are we going to get any info on what studs you have etc? i would not be cutting threads. there were not cut originally due to needing to keep the strength.

and will i can not see why you need so much thread!

Studs are on hold at the moment because I`m not allowed trackside till I break the 16 second per lap barrier. The reason I "need" longer is simply that rules and regs say that if you have a nut it must be full of stud. Bloody daft taken to this extreme if you ask me, they aren`t short nuts si I reckon the stud would more likely break than pull through the nut and that aint likely either.
