Default FAO All With APT's Stud Kit.

That you fitted yourself....

Christian said i should use a 12.7 or a 12.9mm drill bit, but where on earth d'ya get those odd sizes from??

I've used a 12mm bit today and managed to do 2 studs!!

Dont wanna use the 13mm bit in case its too big

Any advice on how you fitted yours??

I bought spanking new hubs, took the kit and the hubs to my friendly engineer Dave and he milled the hubs out and pressed the studs in for me!

The rears are a little tricky as the rear face of the hubs are not flat so they try and kick over as you draw them in.

You can get drill bits in that size from any GOOD tool shop (and I don't mean B&Q), somewhere like Layburn Tools.

Try a net search
