Hi everyone!! I am doing winter maintenance on my ‘55 and I discovered some problems.. some of them already known for years and some of them are brand new I need to replace all 10 front wheel studs because with the wheels I have they are short.. I need 10 pieces of 7/16x20 wheel studs and the thread needs to be at least 30 mm long. So anyone could help me with that? Here in Italy they are obv unfoundable. And with them I need lug nuts too! 20 of them (I am shopping here…) Another problem in my list I cannot find solutions is; My fuel indicator! Sometimes it reads half tank even if the tank is empty or fully loaded. And sometimes it reads correct. And sometimes is reads empty, even if the tank is full. How do I solve it? pls help a poor guy over the ocean Any helo would be really appreciated! W Hamb!! Danny
Sounds Like bad sender but could be gauge .... Start with Pulling sender & bench check with Oms Meter According to what I read it working oms is resistance range of 0-30 ohms. Dorman online catalog , go to axle / wheel Studs , there will be sizes / measurements Or you can look into ARP studs Moroso studs ect ... use good Quality ones
Use the Dorman catalog to find longer Studs ,,, in pic below shows the Oem Length & press in hole size .... According to RockAuto front ""Front"" different than ""Rear"", Front OEM size ,first Pic """ REAR """ Below Oem size
