So I remember reading a thread where someone else was having this same problem but I can't search (it's down) and don't recall if a solution was found. I am trying to mount my '77 chevy 3/4 ton front rotors to my 19?? SRW 14B hubs for my disc conversion and cannot seem to find the correct stud.
Here is what I have tried and the result
Chevy 3/4 ton front stud (supposedly correct stud for these rotors)- too short for use with the 14b hub, has a shoulder at the base to seat in the rotor but not a snug fit. Seemed like the rotor would be kinda loose allowing the rotor to shift fore and aft
Chevy SRW 1 ton 14 bolt rear stud (correct stud for the hubs w/drum)- plenty long but has no shoulder to seat in the rotor- result: very loose fit, allowing the rotor to shift fore and aft.
Just cuz I had some laying around: Dodge D60 front stud- too large a diameter, doesn't seem like the threads will pass through the hubs w/o damage. Little short too.
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS- I did read Billavista's Tech article and according to that-
" I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that the stock 14b wheel studs have a large round head that doesn't fit quite right into the small bore designed for the stud head in the 3/4 ton rotor. The solution is to source new studs that do. I am cheap, lazy, and only ever drive this rig offroad at a crawl, so I simply re-used my studs for now. Eventually, I will replace them, as the net result of re-using them is that the lug nuts only just fully engage the threads on the stud, with no "stickout" of the stud, and this is certainly not ideal. When I figure out all the details on the stud dimensions and part numbers, I will add the info to this article."
-So no answers there.
