I have a set of wheels I want to use on my 1964 2A. Black and chrome composites shod with Grizzly Claws. Problem is the current wheel studs are too short, leaving me with about 4 or 5 turns per nut. Not good. Does anybody know where I can source some longer ones?

Can I assume then, that from the lack of replies, that no-one can help me?

Not sure about that m8. Never heard of needing longer wheel studs, but then again here in Canada we tend not to put anything but stock rims on our truck (tend to be a little traditional here as the old Land Rovers a bit rare and tend to try to return them to their original glory, probably similar to a guy rebuilding an old ford pickup truck over there.) My best suggestion would be to get a hold of one of the parts dealers there and see if they can source anything.

Many thanks for the reply m8. In truth I bought these wheels for my Range Rover but they foul the rear arches under load and I didn't want them sat in my workshop gathering dust. Perhaps it's best if I do keep my old 2A as a standard machine!
