Converting wheel bolts to studs and nuts

Not completely sure, but they are sold along side the rest of his Grayston sourced nuts and studs.

Also worth noting: Mitsubishi Evo is also M12x1.5 (all models) and FTO.

 

Hmmm, subtle detail differences, but this is close (from 2 pages back):



IIRC, Ford Fiesta 1-make support race @ the DTM.

 

There must be loads about for different cars. Just a case of searching around.

 

Yep. The Evo ones are the splined push in type though, so that's worth noting.

no idea what the studs are, do look the same as hockley ones on the rear.

The wheels used are 15x6 compomotive TH, unsure of offset.

 

Fantastic - I had no idea that car was still around. I haven't seen it for years!

Oh, and cheers for the wheel stud pics!

 

who was it who had some pressed in to the back of the hub

 

It was sold at some point last year....17,995

 

Impressive money for a non-S1600 car.

Only perhaps one car built though?

 

never seen another, its a full kit spec engine in it though, allegedly the non S1600 spec engine is more powerful

 

I think it was Group A - it might have been changed now. I'm sure just one was built; they put Llewellyn in it for an event, possibly the RAC, and possibly may have pulled out of rallying for 2-3 years soon after, until they came back with the Mk4.

(bit OT, but interesting)

 

they are some serious shoulders! i am guessing thats the rear trailing arm off something RWD with high offset wheels?

 

i managed to measure the hockley studs today.

the Bells on the AP discs are 8mm thick, a standard vaux disc is more like 6mm.

the length of the stud, including the shoulder from the hub face is 39mm. I tried to measure the amount of the shoulder protruding from the front of the disc, when fitted, i got it to around 5mm.

When i refitted the wheel, the shoulder is completely enclosed in the depth of the wheel, even with a standard vaux disc. I tried two different wheels a revolution and a compomotive TH2 (offsets ET46 and ET49) and they fit fine, with standard discs.

 

I had a look for some at the autosport show but didnt find any

 

Looks like a group A set up from an Escort Cosworth? Might even be Harvey Gibbs one?

 

yeah it's a GRP A escort rear end.

 

Yes, as above, it's an Escort.

Cheers for the Astra pics - 8mm and they look like proper bells indeed!

It must be just a small bit of clearance in the back of the wheel insert to accomodate the small protruding shoulder.

There were some ARP studs at Autosport, though they may have been in the Engineering bit - I was there Fri & Sat, so saw both.

 

the shoulder (on the astra) is exactly the same external diameter as the internal diameter of the steel insert on the wheels, they are quite a "secure fit" you can definitely feel the difference when you fit a wheel once it's sat on the spigot and the shoulders.

Interestingly, the hockley studs have been fine even with the old 16v brakes back on it (swapped them over due to selling the car, and the APs seperately)

 

Here are the Tweeks ones:



I think they're Techno 2 ones, mentioned on page 9.

They've got quite wide bases - when drilling out Mk1/2 hub flanges, it may not leave a lot to work with.
