hello all, I am using Dave Wiltons rear juice brake conversion on my 31 p/u, i am having trouble finding longer studs (new 40 hub type). i need approx 5/8" longer studs than are supplied with my hub. I have asked aroun elsewhere, ans am wondering if anyone out there has a Dormam part # or any suggestions. i have already checked with sac vintage ford, thompsons, Dave wilton has not gotten back to me yet, but i just emailed him yesterday. thanks guys.
Take the stud to the local auto pars store, show them what you want. Most of the time they have studs in stock. It really is that simple.
the auto parts stores have chinese crap I got EXCELLENT studs from Summit for my Model A got a nice cap too Wiltons brakes are not self adjusting you will have to throw his parts away and get self adjusting parts for 71-76 chevy Big wagon (only)

As far as self adjusting, i know how to adjust my bendix brakes, so i think ill keep em.
all the boxes i have of Dorman wheel studs say "made in USA" . i have never had any problem with a product from them , unless something has changed recently
