The Pikey Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just had a measure up and it looks like these will fit both Barnby and Anthracite wheels with plenty of thread in both sets of nuts to spare. That extra 7mm can't be a bad thing so I've ordered some.Cheers Dave new link as original auction has finished Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wells Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 These look good - has anyone bought and fited them yet? And will they fit my 2003 car with Caterham 8 spoke 13" wheels? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pikey Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yep fitted them the other night. Unfortunately it was not as straight forward as I hoped. For MB wheels/wheel nuts they worked fine but not on the STD Caterham nuts with Anthracite wheels. The studs bottomed out in the nuts before they were tight. This was partly because they are 49mm and not the 47mm stated so I had to drill and tap the 16 nuts further. This took all night and only left about 1mm before the hole would have broken through the end of the nut. I guess the easy way would have been to buy some CSR holed wheels nuts for the anthracites..

Chris Wells Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi Jason, thanks for reply. Sorry to hear of your problems, as luck would have it I bought the open ended wheel nuts. (phew!) It sounds like straight forward job apart from the length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pikey Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yes I recon they will go straight on. cheers Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wells Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi Jason, I might have been lucky with my chice of wheel nuts, but the studs are no longer on ebay! Demon Tweeks have some described as "12 x 1.5mm Ford, Standard + 13mm, 47mm Long" at £1.10 each - are they the same? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pikey Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Should be, the only thing to watch is the unthreaded part is not too long. The ones that were on EBay are only just right. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wells Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi Jason - still there? Its me again. I purchased a set of longer studs from Demon Tweeks and on saturday tried to fit them to my 2003 Roadsport. I can remove the front wheel studs ok, but couldn't get the longer ones back in. I tapped out one of the rears, but they just dont seem to have any where to go? Am I missing something here? (I only had an hour to do this while my five year old was out at a party!) Any help appreciated (although not necessarily from my 5 year old). Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pikey Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Chris I took both front and back apart and used a press to fit the new ones. Whats the length of the unthreaded part measured from where the threads start to where the head butts up to the hub? Mine are ok but could really have done with having more thread and less plain shank.

Chris Wells Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hello Jason The overall length (end to end) of the stud is 49mm, whilst the length of the plain shank, from inner face to start of thread is 19mm. Hope this helps. Now all I have to do is fit mine. I was wondering if I could remove the calipers and then undo the allen nuts joining the disc to the hub, slide the disc inwards, which would then give me enough room to knock out the old studs and then fit the new ones. Does this make sense? Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
