studs

[Frenchy]

I've called all the usual places with no luck.  Anyone have rear wheel studs for a 57 A7 swinging arm?

G'day Frenchy,
                    buggers to get out aren't they. I made some a while back. It's 5 am here so am not allowed in the shed yet, but will try to find my notes later. From memory (not good) 7/16 BSF and 7/16 BSW threads with a 5/8 collar in the middle.
Cheers

I found 'em!  Domiracer.com, which is in Ohio a couple hours from me, was able to find them.  I've got a set of 4 new ones on the way. 

2 of the ones that I'm replacing are still in good shape, so if anyone needs a pair let me know.

Good one Frenchy, wish I had known about them.
While you have it apart. The sprockets for the '56 '57 Areil hubs are different to the later one's and a bit harder to find. A mod I have done is to machine off the teeth and fit an after market sprocket bored out to fit over the old sprocket hub and held on with six bolts like the way they do modern discs. That way I also have spares already bored in different sizes 38,40,44 teeth.
Cheers
