The shank measurement of the stud is 13.1mm. I think I used 12.9mm, but might have been 12.7mm.

I will go see if I can find the Drill bit.

If your drilling then tapping the hub, you drill to the the size of the stud on the dia, minus the depth of the thread, i.e.

M20 bolt has a 2.5mm pitch, which has a 1.5mm deep thread, so you use a 17mm drill. If that makes sense.

Christian and Beccy, Thanks mate, knowing my luck - i'd drill the hole and the stud would fall out

churchy, No tapping needed mate. I was in your neck of the woods last weekend - Caister Soul Weekender at the Vauxhall Holiday Park

From memory, I bought 12.7 and 12.9 to be safe. Might be worth doing that and trying the 12.7 first.
