1960 thunderbird hub

[vroomsta]

I'm looking for a front wheel hub for a 1960 thunderbird for a young man who is in the national guard doing his 2 week active training. The existing hub has loose studs and he is thinking about welding them because he cannot find a good hub. Does anybody know what years will fit a 60? Os does anybody have one for sale? Thanks Ed

If the hub is good except for loose studs, I would relpace the studs and weld them in. Just a 3/8 inch spot is enough. The wheel torque holds them in. Just make sure they are seated all the way before you weld.
