Charles Durning's Journal --
As has been advised in the past, the only longer wheel studs for the Wire wheel to bolt on with the WW rear axle was the 12mm ARP 100-7708 stud. If the owner wanted to have the same size stud all around they would have to use the 12mm ARP 100-7726 for the front. There is another option, and this does not require re-drilling the hubs. ARP 100-7731(long) and ARP 100-7730(short) will press right in. The application is for a late model Corvette when changing from metric to inch size studs. For those who are converting to outboard vented front brakes on the MGB, with bolt on wheels, longer front wheel studs are required. In that case, just order a set of rear wheel studs. They are longer than the front studs. The image attached compares the MGB front stud (bottom) With the MGB rear stud (top) and the ARP 100-7726 stud(center).
