story is re-drilled my vava hubs to take ford, but when i pushed the ford studs in i had alot of the shank coming through, whitch I'm guessinf on fords the disk will sit over that, so i need to make some long nuts with like a shoulder in them to clear the shank, was wondering what kind of grade hex bar i need? and where can i get some? i rang a few places and they only have a3013 grade or something like that, i don't really want to use stainless as its gonna be a curse word to machine, cheers

On my old tattoo studio, i put 2 nuts together on a stud chamfered ends together, and then welded them, hard part is making sure they still moved freely on the thread. i then had to turn them in the lathe to copy the profile of the o/s nuts......

Would it not ne easier to take the studs out and cut the thread further down?

i could drill out my existing nuts and the get some more put them back to back then weld them, but the nuts are on show so they need to look pretty good, i don't really want to knock them back out as theve cut there own groove, ive ran dies down bolt shoulder before and it never seems to really work. ive just seen some long ones on ebay, i could probly just get away with drilling the first 100 of thread out

erm... this surely wont be an issue once the wheels are bolted on? you don't wanna tighten the nuts down to the face of the hub anyway

Too much thread not a huge problem to little and its dangerous. |

If you have room in the arches you could fit spacers to take up the slack.
