Can anyone tell me where I can get the right wheel studs for a 48 passenger car. I ordered some from Joblot before they went out of business and the shoulder is to long, wheel won't draw tight to drum. Thanks
 
Thanks for your reply, I thought of that but was not sure there would be enought threads holding. Will try it thanks again,

Do you realize that the ORIGINAL studs were designed to be SWAGED, once the drum is assembled with the hub? DD
 
I found some usable studs when I did a Buick drum conversion. Everything was fine but the serrations were too long. I flattened some lockwashers and put them under the heads and all fit fine. I wish I could give you the numbers but the parts were sold.
 
I think I will follow corvette suggestion and machine off about 3/32 of the shoulder. Thanks to everyone who took the time to help. Rick
 
I looked in the green book and it shows the shoulder between .43" and .51" of the
different studs.

Bob C, the book shows 3 different sizes for 40-48. No one shows .43, have found .47, will try that one thanks for your input.
 
Bob, I think the 51A- 1107 for the front would work. Thanks to all you guys that go out of your way to help, it is really appreciated.
