stud conversion

[Jon8710]

im going to be replacing the wheel nutts with 80mm stud conversion kit,

has any one done this and whats the best way to install them?

i was thinking just screw them in with some lock tight on the studs but please tell me if im wrong.

cheers

Glendog did a write up for people who are unsure of how to install them, but basically yes they are loctite in

[Graham]

2 ways to do it add loctite to the thread and either use the Allen key end to wind & tighten them, or put 2 wheels nuts on the thread and use a socket to wind & tighten them. Just hold the nut closest to the hub with a spanner when undo'ing the wheel nuts. And done

cheers for the input gents,

the stud converters i have got dont have alan key heads but i have managed to wind them in by putting two nuts on like graham said,

the studs dont bottom out into the hub though so have just wound them in 10 - 15mm with loctite on them,

do you think this will be ok ? surly once the nut is done up this will hold it tight wont it ?

Where did you get them from?

Don't scrimp on wheel bolt/nuts, I've bought the turner Motorsport ones, not cheap, but they are good and safe.

they are a bit budget from ebay,

these are going on my track car (E36) not the cecil or they would be expensive ones, i guess i just dont want them to fall out !

[Chrisc]

Get the bulletnose ones with steel nuts as well. Elite D sell them, or CA. £130 a set, but well worth it.

And in all black if you wanted.

+1

I use the 90mm version from Turner Motorsport as I also run wheel spacers:
