    I want to replace the rear wheel studs in a 31 Model A rear end. I am wanting to put a wider wheel on [ aluminum ] and the orignal studs are to short! Any ideas on what you guys use? Any part numbers? Thank`s for the help.

    You will find it WAY EASIER to get the correct lug nuts. Just finding the stock size studs is bad enough, but finding some longer? No such part.

    Model A studs were swedged (swaged?) into the drum. Do you know the proper proceedure for R&R?

    There's a good drawing with dimensions in the '28-48 Ford catalog, showing every importat dimension of every Ford wheel stud. Take that down to the store and ask to root through the Dorman catalog and see if anything is available for sure.
