mark newman Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 I did not think that the stock studs would do . as the drag wheels are quit thick on the bolt patten . But as I was always going for longer studs ,I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The wheels are thick but the proper weld nuts slide inside the wheel hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I will not be doing that then. but you think i my get away with a prop hoop. You will still need to get one Mark but will be ok at the first meeting, how come you never got Andy to knock one up ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 you said he made one for you and it was wrong. I was waiting for someone to copy your one , but no one did . I will try and make somthing up this week, Dude still ok for saturday . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The wheels are thick but the proper weld nuts slide inside the wheel hole. The reason for the longer studs is incase the hex part of the nut snaps off, then the part of the nut left in the wheel is now a dowel, ive seen plenty of stock wheel studs snap off I dont think I would want to put over 600 hp through them with a 6 speed, the ARP/Moroso studs are a far higher quality metal.

dude Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 When its scrutineered just say you have never run it so don't know what it will do, you only need a prop hoop for under 13sec, if they notice you will prob just be told to get one fitted for the next meeting.

So should be ok for light use with stock studs mate but not for longer periods of abuse? What nuts did you use Mark/Jamie or again was it stockers?
