Sourcing Yankee Wheel Studs

[Steve_T]

Folks,

I'm hoping for some advice here. I have a TVR Cerbera which uses Jeep hubs. I need to fit some longer studs and I have found a few candidates to replace the standard items from Dodge and Ford Trucks. Does anyone know either a UK based supplier of US vehicle parts or alternatively a US based supplier with reasonable shipping costs to the UK. I only want to buy of each for a trial fit initially before I order what I need.

Help appreciated,

Steve

Try USAutomotive. Not always the cheapest, but pretty good at sourcing parts. If they don't have it in stock, pretty sure they can order it in too.

I stripped two studs on my viper and phoned many companies in the UK but nobody had them. Ordered from Summit Racing and they came pretty quickly. However they come usually in 10er packs.

When I needed longer studs for my Impreza a phone call to Merlin based out of Castle Combe Race Circuit was all that was needed. It will be useful if you know the pitch of the thread and the size of the studs from your "Jeep" ones that you have, and then how long you want to go.

The ones they sold me were made for the Skyline, and as I wasn't too sure about length, I sourced open ended wheel nuts. Successful outcome.

Food for thought?

Help much appreciated, will see what I can find in the UK and failing that order from the US.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks for the link riiidaa. I think I've found something from a UK supplier. It's still cheaper to buy from the US, just not single items.
