: 1LE rotors replacement studs GWL Jan 19th, 04, 8:42 PM I just upgraded to disc brakes and found one of the studs was loose. Is there a replacement stud for this rotor? I'm thinking of changing from metric treads to sae because I was able to pop all five studs off easily. TIA, Glenn pmullaly Jan 20th, 04, 6:58 PM From Global Wests site 1LE rotors have the correct bolt pattern but use 12mm studs rather than 7/16 studs. You need to change the studs over to 7/16. We use a DBS-42 kit ($20.98) for this conversion. The wheel stud holes in the rotor will have to be opened up slightly in order to convert to 7/16 studs. A 35/64 drill bit will do the job.

Joe GWL Jan 21st, 04, 7:48 PM Do you think the Moroso studs are too long for closed end lug nuts?

You can cut them down as necessary though. I wonder how long the GW studs are :confused: Joe Midnight Marauder Jan 22nd, 04, 11:16 AM Originally posted by 72SSAbody: I wonder how long the GW studs are :confused: Joe Gotta ask the GM Wives. ;) 72SSAbody Jan 22nd, 04, 11:57 AM Originally posted by Midnight Marauder: </font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by 72SSAbody: I wonder how long the GW studs are :confused: Joe Gotta ask the GM Wives. ;) </font>[/QUOTE]So MM, you're saying the Global West guys are foolin' around with the General Motors wives?
