no not larger in dia., and yes on the nut
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
You cannot put a larger stud through the hole in the hub without machining the hub itself.
Besides, it is what the stock is anyways.
Yeah I’m the do it right once kind of guy! I did get upset reading the "how to do it in your back yard" and YES I do not support modifications of the bud nuts. Safety is very important and there might be a day where due to poor practices we as citizen might not have this opportunity to purchase MV's due to things like this and I am just defending the right of MV owners who do it right and those innocent around us. It’s one thing to do it wrong because nothing is available or in a field fix but it’s another to do it wrong out of ignorance. Just trying to helpActually, I DON'T want new studs. I want to put the stock rims/tires back on this truck. So the longer studs are out.
Btw, it was with a bench grinder and a bucket of water. Not perfect, but close enough for you to pull your panties out of a bunch.
Btw, the ends are square. Actually, they were more true then the surface of the hubs due to rust/imperfections.
As for your attitude, I understand the part about safety. And with how enough stuff is done, it has a good point to be said.
Your approach on the other hand, well, just tells me a lot about you.
I guess you could though the budd will be weaker, takeing to much off the budd may cause bottoming of the studSince the original studs have no tapper at the bottom and the nuts center the wheel, could you just totally machine off the double bevel on the bud cap and just end up with a straight bud cap with no bevels and let the nut center the hemtt wheel?
