One thought I had was buying extended wheel studs and cutting the knurled end off to make a fully threaded body, but they are all too short unless you change the thread pitch. Wildmane, if you don’t have extra studs lying around I may opt to buy a stud with a more common thread since I’m doing my own tapping anyway. Even then, it is difficult to find the correct length but it’s more feasible.

Hey I haven't been on the forums but I'll look around today for them. I'll see what grade they are too.
