hangover Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm most of the way thru building a 6x4 trailer that will be using D1 steel rims on hubs that were made to match a transit van ( same pcd but wrong stud size), i thought i'd be lucky and just press the old studs out and fit LR 16mm studs but it turns out that the transit studs are about 17mm in the spline so my studs wont fit. So wondering if you chaps know where i can get 16mm studs that have at least a 17mm spline diameter and possibly a little longer than standard LR 16mm D1/RRC studs, down here the toyota 6 sud hubs are common for this type of use but i already have hubs and rims with tyres ready to go.

Bowie69 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Bought some custom studs a while back, for the moggy, these came up in my history: http://www.trailertek.com/trailer-parts/hubs-brake-drums-and-hub-spares/wheel-studs-and-nuts/m16-wheel-stud-indespension http://www.trailertek.com/trailer-parts/hubs-brake-drums-and-hub-spares/wheel-studs-and-nuts/m16-wheel-stud-avonride-drum http://www.trailertek.com/trailer-parts/hubs-brake-drums-and-hub-spares/wheel-studs-and-nuts/m16-wheel-stud-peak Second one particularly looks pretty good for you?

Yes 2nd link looks good, the others only have a spline diameter of 16.2mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangover Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Postage is a killer at 17GBP still if i cant get them here there is no choice, comes to about AUD55 for 10 studs to my door so not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably get them to Perth in a couple of weeks, but it would still cost you the GB postage plus the post from Perth to Melbourne. Hardly worth it for the sake of a couple of quid.

sean f Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Now might be a good time to buy from the UK, with the vote to leave the EU the value of the pound has dropped so be cheaper for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah should work out ok apart from my preferred seller Taunton Trailers say they are out of stock and no longer made, emailed TrailerTek so hopefully they have them and will suitable.
