Changing over to wheel studs

1/2-20 seems to be the standard size when doing a conversion. It is the size of the stud used in the disc for the Rusty Hope and other conversions and it is the size stud found on the Cherokee rear axles. If you intend to put them into the hubs of a b2b you will likely have to drill out the old hole before pressing the studs in. You wheel lugs were 1/2-20 lug bolts. Look carefully at the hub flange and make sure that there isn't a stepped portion on the back side. If there is you will need to machine the flange to allow the stud head to fully seat against the flange.

if you are talking about the stepped portion, you'll have to check yours. Mine was a 1950 b2b and it was there. I did the conversion kit so I didn't have to worry about it. Had I bee able to get the factory drum brakes going I may have considered it. All things considered, I am satisfied that I made the conversion. I completed the installation in under 2 hours and couldn't have asked for it to be any easier. Hardest part was drilling and tapping the backing plate on the spindle and drilling the control arm.
