Longe Alfetta GTV6 front wheel studs

Post by Alfaaa1 »

Hi to all.
Does anyone know where I can get 10 longer front wheel studs.

Current standard ones are 55mm long from under the head to the end of the thread and I need them to be 5 mm longer.(60mm)

Hi Alfaaa1,

Pretty sure you need studs with a 12mm knurl (spline) diameter along with the usual 12 x 1.5 thread. Here is a racing version that looks spot on for the length you want:

You might try the ARP 7712, but the knurl diameter is slightly oversize so you will have to ream out the hole to avoid splitting the disk:

Cheers, Davo

Ps: great to hear you have the replacement engine in and running 😀

Hi Davo,
on the studs https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/22374101750 ... YOSNn913Cy,

Do you know the size of the ream or drill bit to use.

ARP lists the target hole for these as 0.469 to 0.479 inches

Expect a 0.480inch reamer will be the size to use and still have some material for the splines to fit firmly?

Those studs are also a touch longer than your 60mm target but you can always cut them down a touch if needed…
