When we were looking for extended studs, discovered that the stud size is quite unusual. 14x2mm thread pitch, and about at 15.9mm shoulder. During the course of the search one manufacturer told me it was a Ford Transit size!!! That could be way off but it wouldn't surprise me!

Why do you ask? They are fairly inexpencive and easy to fit.

I think a whole hub is only £110ish anyway including bearing? Not that big a deal.

Thanks Lads just don't like paying full whack if I can get away with it

I don't mind giving some body a profit but don't like having my pants puled down
if I need to pay full price i will with a smile
