Wheel stud conversion kit

[Ashy]

Hi chaps, looking for some advice here.

Is there a kit available for the R5 gtt off the shelf, who have you guys bought them from, any recommendations?

I need to run 5mm spacers on the front so need to buy longer bolts so thought I might aswell go for the stud conversion.

Cheers Ashy.

JP link is ok stuff should be totally fine, but if you are really pushing the car with high cornering loads get rolled thread studs and forged (steel not alloy) nuts... Matt@codered is your man to speak to for a kit - i think he has some left?

I use similar nuts to these - same style different brand:

Id be tempted to take the hubs off, drill and press in some ford studs mate, proper job.

Like these on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Wheel...f#ht_500wt_689

You need to make sure the studs you choose are rolled threads, not cut threads. Rally design are pretty good for theses bits.
Who ever does the conversion for you, make sure the flanges are faced off square, that goes for the rear discs too (if you decide to do rears as well). A teeny blob of weld will also help hold them in.

Everything you need right here mate.

I got 21 Turbo studs at 60mm long with 60 degree seated nuts, and also a set of 60mm 60 degree seated slimline star bolts with key.

Shop through and they have everything if you know the metric sizes
