Default Wheel studs.

I need a full set of wheel studs asap, before the end of the week. ebay is dry. not really interested in a stud/nut conversion unless its cheaper and just as easy to do. Does anyone know where i can get a brand new set from? OE or aftermarket it doesn't matter too much, and some ford locking nuts?

Thanks, Joe.

they'd fit straight on? yeah its just the studs i need. i did my gearbox and whilst the wheels were off i realised/remembered i had 3 different types holding my wheels on all alloy ones of course but i thought it couldn't be too safe. especially since i've upped the power in the last few weeks.

if so, then yeah. can you do paypal? i'll chuck a few quid on top to cover their expenses.
