Here is a pic of my old ones if it helps anyone understand. Especially for the question about back clearance

I had to ditch those ones and go for uprated strength ones as im not known for being light on the car
Simple conversion as Christian says

Updated above with those that have been posted. I am still awaiting the Lockers, which should arrive with me tomorrow, so the remaining kits will go out either tomorrow or Thursday.
Hope this is OK.

Alternatively, I can measure the depth of a nut for you tomorrow as that will be more relevant than the length of the stud.
Also, I can't send the Stud/Nut kit with the B&M as thats due to arrive with you tomorrow!! LOL. No problems though.
Thanks for the PM!!

Oh dear. I cant remember offhand. I think its 12.9. Might be 12.7. Best bet is to measure the shank with a vernier and use a drill thats about 0.2-0.3mm smaller. The other way would be to measure the low point of the splines, as opposed to the high point. Make sense? I will go measure it now.
If you have drilled it too big, it won't be a problem as long as its not sloppy. You can put a blob of weld on the head of the stud to stop the stud from turning in the hub. Its not unsafe as the head stops it from pulling through.

The total length is 25mm from the Tip of the tapered seat to the end of the nut. Hope this makes sense.
