Just make sure to draw the new one in tightly with a nut and some washers if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotoflex Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've never stripped a wheel stud, but I've stripped many of the closed-end chrome wheel nuts that came with the GT6 Mk3 & MkIV/1500 Spitfires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Dave, may be worth fitting the 12mm stuff? but will need a hole in the brake backplate as they are a bit longer too. May need to remove the front hubs, but not a huge pain, plus the studs are huge in comparison.Pricewise about the same (or maybe cheaper) than the 3/8 stuff.
