    Re: Wheel studs

    wheel stud design is based on the rotor.  (K-H rotors are different from later models)  There are several different designs.  Google your rotor year.  You will get several responses.  Check them out and buy the one that matches.  Of course that means you must remove one to see what you have.

    Don't just follow what someone tells you.

    Re: Wheel studs

    I am using Dorman wheel studs on KH drum hubs.

    I have 1” wheel spacers and 2016 Mustang GT brakes.

    Re: Wheel studs

    I've just finished lookin' for the studs I bought for the 2001 bullit caliper setup that I plan on using .... I'll add them to the list of things I can't find since moving into the new shed.
    I seem to recall that I got the info from MS on which dorman studs to get.

    What wheels are you planning on using? I need to come up with a spare spindle that I can assemble with brackets, caliper, and rotor, that i can take with me to a wheel manufacturer to trial fit for some custom backspace wheels.

    Are you and Brenda gunna make it to TX? It would be good to see you guys again.

    Re: Wheel studs

    Stock K-H rotors are two piece.  Many after market rotors are one piece.  Be careful.  look at the studs in the image.  they all are different, and all are sold as K-H replacements.

    Sorry.  I can't get the image to transfer.  Just check yours against whatever you want to buy.  The shoulders can be different.

    Re: Wheel studs

    I'm using Dorman #610-441, 2-1/8" long.  The mounting flang on my American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels is somewhat thick that requires longer wheel studs.   
    Check the thickness of the flange on your wheels, and how deep the threads are on the lug nuts ... you don't want the lug nuts bottoming out on the stud.  

    65 Fastback, 351W, 5-speed, 4 wheel discs, 9" rear,  R&C Front End.

    Thanks all, I think the Dorman 610 441 is what I was looking for. I broke a stud need to replace.

    how much longer is the Dorman 610-441 than the standard 1965 v8 stud they came with.
