J4m13 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I’ve just converted a b1600 diff to lsd and disc brake. I’ve only got machining the pcd and pressing the studs in to complete. what studs would be my best option and where is the best place to source. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny.race Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It depends on a few things and funnily enuff, it can boil down to what drill size you have available. The NICE range of wheel studs available through most places like RipCo and Super Cheap etc will cover anything you want to do. There is an online catalog for NICE. This said, I've reused the OEM wheel studs heaps of times when they have measured up as being suitable. When using aftermarket ones, make sure you check the specs for length and diameter of the splined portion. Make sure you know your existing axle flange thickness. Make sure its all compatible. Thickness of the hat and type of lug nut plays a part also - in terms of length. Then there is the interference fit you'll need to figure out. Take your time with this stuff because its easy to fuck it all up and waste the axle. and your time in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Once you know what dimensions you need go to Davie Motors Botany, they're the distributor for Nice products, and they've got the best range. They've got a full catalogue that you can search by dimensions etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
