Do not use Blue for this. Use Red ONLY. If you change rotors you simply heat with a torch and they come right out.


Whew, thought I was going crazy. Thanks for clearing it up.

Still in for one of these kits. Maybe even 2.

Hey guys, so a friend of mine owns a store that sells wheel stud conversion kits for BMW's, and is getting involved in Porsches. He had mentioned being interested in selling a kit for 914's at a group buy price if enough people were interested in it.

The kit includes 16 thread in studs, and 16 high quality ball seat nuts. (these nuts are not the cheap imitators. These actually fit our ball seat wheels). Both are made in Europe and are TUV certified, so it's good quality hardware.

The studs are bullet nose, and thread in with an allen wrench. Installation is easy, and only require the removal of you wheels.

Here's a pic from his website of the dimensions of the stud that will come with the kit:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.motorsporthardware.com-9714-1352904604.1.jpg)

I'll know pricing options when I get back with him later today, but for those interested, please chime in.

Thanks everyone, Ethan

I'm in for a couple of sets pending some pictures. I really need to these on a car with 2.0 Fuchs to feel comfortable with the look!

There is no problem with the thread in Member Vendor, but group buys are permitted to run in the Garage, and this is a classic group buy.

Haha, okay Zach. I had PM'ed Eric asking wether or not I should put the group buy here, or elsewhere, and he had said to put a link to it in the member vendor section. Should I move it to the garage?

Not to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) , but Jims link is cheaper on 4 lug cars.

5 lug cars are less expensive though.

The thread is already there. Follow Eric's advice.

Unless I'm seeing things...
16 14x1.5mm 80mm studs $79.20
16 14x1.5mm yellow zinc nuts $27.04
total kit $106.24 +shipping

The kit for the group buy, assuming you're getting yellow zinc nuts is only $100 shipped, and may be less if people actually start committing to them in the other thread.

Not trying to start a pissing match at all, but I still believe these kits are cheaper..
