Hey guys. I've snapped two studs on one of my spacers and I've been trying to find something that will fit, but so far been unsuccessful.

The places I've looked only have the 'Nice Products' range of studs and the closest is just a bit too big. First one on this page http://www.niceproducts.com.au/catalogues/wheel/wheel18.htm is the closest, but the knurl diameter is slightly too big at 12.9mm (the part with the straight lines). Needs to be about 12.2-12.3mm. I bought one to try but the hole is too small for even the first part of the shoulder to go through.

Does anyone here know of a different brand that may fit or even someone who has replaced them before?

If I can't find anything I guess my best bet would be to slightly enlarge the hole so it does fit. I can't see any real problems with doing this as it's only a small amount of material being removed.

In the past i have taken broken studs to Mr Mag and places like that who can normally match them up.

I believe Coventry's sell studs as well and as long as they are on display at the store you go to you stand a chance of finding a match. If you rely on the parts monkeys at the counter of Coventry's store to match it up for you, it will probably be deemed too hard and they 'wont have anything to match' etc coz they cant be bothered.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
