It's always been a PITA to reinstall the wheels onto the car w/ lug bolts so then im trying to find these double-ended studs to go w/ a set of lug nuts ive got. Does anyone know where i can find some 14mm double-ended studs? Thanks in advance.

What length do you want? 14MM X ?? I have a set I don't need but they are not long enough by 2 or so threads for 911 Style fuch wheels.

for a convenient way to do it...have one per wheel Or carry one with you that is four inches long...thread it in and hang the wheel off of it... Attach the other three or four bolts..remove the rod and put in the last bolt.... Rich |

Okay I gots the info. I got these from some toothless guy at the Flee market. He was a' wittlin them from a larger led pile made from used bullets! I think they are safe enough (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif)
For real: I got them from WheelComponents.com, not quite 80 bucks but when I got them I had little to no info to go on. I since noticed I needed longer ones. As per the REAL reason I have these extra. I have the 14mmX1.75 on my fronts now and they have worked great for years. 14mm X1.5"X14MM - 12 new ones and 9 used ones in perfect condition, just a bit dirty. go to this site for pics #2736-2742 http://www.rockaria.com/914parts/ Attached image(s)

I also have an extra set of 14mmX1.75X1/2" studs I got just in case I could not find 14mm acorns, I could have used american 1/2" acorns instead. Didn't need them since I found the super light 14mm alloy acorns. I think they are really designed for different style rims that have a smaller hole for the bolt. Probly not the best idea with a rim with a 14mm hole.

You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,622 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None

Just go to your local VW dealer and ask for a tommy bar part number 893 012 223 works great for the 914. Just screw it in and hang the wheel while you install the other lug bolts.
