Progress today on the 914 :), all lights working and homemade spacers Options

[Mueller]

In order to get my car ready for it's brake and light inspection (salvage title), I finally got all of my lights to work perfectly, the aftermarket flasher relay didn't work too well so I had to dish out the $35 for a new correct unit.

I put my lathe to good use today, I needed 1/2" spacers for the rear of my car for my rims due to the heavy offset (47mm, should have been 35mm)

As you can see, I'll have to get new studs, the threads don't go down far enough for the lug nuts to tighten up against the wheel....instead of cutting new threads, I'd rather get the correct studs which have the threads formed by rolling, these make for a stronger thead....sorta like being forged.....

Mueller,

Have you got a good source for rolled thread studs?
I'm getting really close to having the space under my fender to
widen and space out my wheels. So I'm going to need some studs
soon. Do you know what the stock 4 lug hub thread size is?
I measured mine and I think it's 14mm dia. x 1.25 mm pitch.
Sound Right? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
