68 covt...
ok so i swapped out the rear studs and used ARP studs. put the rear part of the bear brake kit. finally got the wheel/tire...even got the mcgard spline drive lug nuts.
go and put the wheel on and the studs are WAYYY too long. probably about 3/4 to an inch too long. so what to do now?
i would really like to avoid the look of open lugs. are there lug nuts that are extra long?
Screw a nut on the threads and use a cut-off wheel and trim to length. Cut straight as you can using the nut as a backstop. Unscrew the nut and that will fix the starter thread, then lightly file the cut edge.
Should be go to go.
I dont think he wants to send hundreds of dollars for lug nuts, i know i never will...
I think that is when you know you have too much money and need to give more to charity
Yup... those guys have way too much money and not enough... **cough, Ill leave that alone... cough** But a local machine shop could do it for less. I mean material and time... wouldnt cost $400. I think the shop that made those knew they too much money.
I just used the McGard 60127 thru nuts with my Vintage Wheel Works V45's...
