Does anybody make metric version wheel studs for a Dana 44?

Doing an front SAS...stock Dana studs are 1/2", and I want to replace them with 12mm x 1.5 pitch to match the rear axle. The front wheel studs are special and have a long shoulder that holds the rotor to the hub when they are pressed in. Anybody done this?

Not sure if this will help you on the 44 but when my FJ was IFS I wanted a longer wheel stud up front for my heavier wheels and tires. The stock studs seemed really short and I wanted more thread for the nuts to grab onto. I used NAPA P/N 641-4119. The are a metric thread stud for a late model Ford I think. I don't recall the knurl diameter on them but maybe it will get you close.

Napa P/N 641-4119 turned out to be nothing more than a regular 12mm stud.

However, Napa P/N 641-3126 is what I was looking for. This stud has the double-shoulder near the knurls to hold the rotor onto the Dana hubs. The application is listed as "82-86 Toyota Pick-up". Napa has a great selection of wheel studs, and they also have all the dimensional info in their counter catalog. Thanks for the tip.

Now, on to the ABS rings. Same situation...trying find something to fit modern rings to the 70s-era hubs.
