jimwheeldon Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 I tried this week to get some left hand bolts for my 50 Plym...no luck- They say it's an obsolete part. Arrrgh! One wheel is held on with only 2 bolts! A might scary for high speed runs. Should I convert it over to studs and has anyone have any tips to do this? I'm about 8 short...so if anyone wants to sell some old extras drop me a line. Thanks-Jim Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 these are still available..Dorman product...check with a parts distributor in your area that stocks Dorman products...O'Rileys is one... Oh yeah...check also with Tractor Supply...allis Chambers tractor also uses a 1/2-20 LH wheel bolt...1.5 inches long... Quote
martybose Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Let me know if you don't find some; someplace out in my garage there should be a full set of wheel bolts that I bought just before i decided to change to wheel studs because of a wheel spacer issue on my car. Marty Quote
captden29 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 both bernbaum and roberts sells them and they show up on the bay often. sorry, i don't have any extras laying around. an old junkyard will have a pile of them somewhere if you can get the oldest guy there to take a look for you. dennis Quote
Young Ed Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 I may have some but you should be able to get them at a good parts store. Quote
1just4don Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 i just threw away some old studs yesterday,,,never thought to look if they were lefts or rights,,,and who KNOWS what they might have fit in their day, no tags or nothing on them,just studs and dirt in a can after resting there for 30 years!! I have SOOOO much stuff to go thru so quickly,,I will never get done!! IF I find more today,I will be sure to look!!(for lefts)IF they are lefts,probably a great bet here they are THAT kind!! Quote
Mr. Belvedere Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Just do the brake conversion and you won't need em anyway. I may have some laying around I'll look and get back with you. But there going to cost you seeing how they are rare and all! (j/k) Quote
