Cheers

I did a group-buy on the stud kit. Might run another if theres enough interest. We don't usually keep them in stock though.

I had to drill the thread out of the hubs out at work and used a fly press to press them into so as to make them nice and tight in there.
a local engineering firm should be able to do it for you and i doubt it would cost very much hope that helps mark.

As above, drill out the hub and press the new splined bolt in

GP A are 14mm though so be careful if you do want those as most places only sell the standard 12mm ones

We have the ones above in 12mm for less than £1 each (63mm)
