Just a short post on the small subject of converting to wheel studs & nuts from bolts.
Although there is the advantage that the wheels are much easier to put on with studs, they are usually fitted when wheel spacers are used to allow for the extra thickness. When ordering measure the total thickness of everything which the bolt has to pass through: The hub, brake disc or bell, spacers, wheel and of course wheel nut. The nuts we sell are 25mm total long, the studs are measured as their total length, we stock mainly 60 or 80mm although other sizes are available to order, so:
Hub: 11mm
Standard brake disc: 7mm
Spacer: 17mm
Wheel thickness in nut hole: 15mm
Nut length: 25mm
+5mm extra
Total 80mm
When fitting, an aerosol can of brake cleaner and cotton buds or a small bottle brush are ideal for getting the threads in the hub de-greased and clean before applying liquid thread lock and winding the stud home. Keep an eye on the back as it is easy to go too far when using two nuts together to wind them in, don't go much further than the stud sticking out of the back a mm or two. Allow to dry before putting the other components on and finally the wheel nuts of course.
