hi i'm new here need sum info with converting my escort s2 wheel hubs over to studs and nuts is there any thing i can robb parts off ie focus ,late escort,mondeo,fiesta... cheers

 

I just bought some new studs off ebay i think they were only a tenner for the set, i read on here about some one trying to press the studs straight in and it cracked the hud so i drilled mine out a touch and pressed them in.

mark.

 

yeah my hub cracked due to the bloke not drilling the threads out enough, so make sure u drill out enough clearance and then press, otherwise sourcing a single piece of a single hub is just hassle

 

i just got a hub stud and nut conversion kit of ebay too for extra safety best to thread lock the studs in to the hub.

And before the health and safety officer appears.....
i have done loads of track days with coilovers lots of horses and rose joints race poly bushes and had no problems of any signs of movement stretching or other such nonsense.

 

Thats good to hear about them been trackproof!
Any links to who you purchased from??

pretty sure it was this chap

makes wheel changes so much easier

 

Thanks Twiddle,I had a look but none for Fords,and a search on ebay turned up none either!

 

FOUND THIS ON EBAY IF THERE ANY GOOD http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

 

I am sure i asked if they could supply specific length thread and pitch for mine as needed longer than standard fitment stud. I don't think i even said what car it was for, i can't remember the details of measurements tho.

 

I think I'll just go down my local Ford dealer and buy 4 studs and 4 alloy wheel nuts (only want 1 per hub,make fitting wheel easier) off a Focus.

Thanks for the help lads,Micky

 

im going to order some from here as i only need the studs

i drilled all the holes out with 12.5mm drill bit bought new studs from ford (speed shack also sell diff sizes ones) got a steel nut and air gun to pull them through the holes

easy stuff

think you can buy a kit with reverse thread tho so no drilling but its abit dearer

 

Thats what i am using and all ok

 

thats the same way i'v always done them as well.

 

Well I purchased 4 wheel studs and 4 wheel nuts at the AutoSport show yesterday,so will get them fitted when the weather warms up.Thanks for the advice lads.Micky

 

i went to fords, orderd 16 studs for a escort cossie and put them in no drilling. all ok.. used cossie wheel nuts too (but got them with my cossie wheels when i bought them).
