Builds Halo's New Ride

[Halogrinder]

heres my hub and rotor assembly im trying to stick on.


the problem im having is the length of the wheel stud. the ones i have got from information on the board shows i need a 610-312 dorman wheel stud.


obviously they arnt going to work for me. the wheel stud length needs to be at least another inch for me to feel comfortable
this is with the hub assembly bolted to the back of the wheel for mock up. the threads on the lug nut are not fully engaged to the stud. in order for the lug nut to properly be attatched, the stud must be at least thru the lugnut...and i would like at least a 1/4'' sticking out past that minimum

problem fixed, ya fawks

many many lost hours fawking with the damn parts idiots finally netted me a catch i can use. this is compared to a 610-312 stud

i found a wheelstud from napa, part number 641-1110 . it is a cross reference to dorman 610-073 wheel stud . it has a nice big shank that is the same diameter as the cruiser hubs...worked perfect. it is also a standard stud, 1/2'' by 20 pitch, and while it may be standard now, at least my problem is fixed....

[FJ40onNOS]

looking good, glad to see someone else besides myself is slow b/c of $ but if I was making either of the amounts you stated I would have tons of extra $$ zAnd I am married with a kid and another on the way. But I am sure Houston has a higher cost of living than upstate, SC!

ya i hate not being able to drive my 40, its like a part of me is dead or numb

 

[Halogrinder]

ok next problem. i need some speedy sleeves. i need one for the inner wheel bearing area. i also need one for the big seal that goes over the drive hub (the one that bolts to the spindle)


ok next problem. i need a set of backing plates, or i need to know the thickness of the backing plate where it bolts to the spindle, so i can properly space my seals....thanks guys!

 

[Poser]

It is the thickness of the step on the spindle that the backing plate centers on....

Hey Halo!

Didn't I post to this same thread last year or somethin'?? I guess you didn't get floated out of your house and I can see that the cruiser wouldn't have helped if you did..

Slow progress but looking GOOD at every step of the way.

no he is up by me and it only rain alittle here

yea, we got hurricane blue balls. it was rediculous. what a waste of time, money, effort and resources.

its a slow battle with the cruiser, i know. if i was making the money this year, when i bought it, it would be on the road. im sure you guys know about priorities. this is a play toy, not a daily driver. its also the money pit when everything else is paid for....so at least its in depth...lol
currently im having spacers made for the backing plates i dont have, and im looking for speedy sleeve's for the hub and inner wheel seal on one side of the axle.

 

[FJ40onNOS]

did you leave?

 

[Poser]

well THANKS FOR THE NEWS FLASH TOM BROKAW!

What? No dial caliper?


10.00 tool from enco...






Good luck!

[Halogrinder]

yea, i got the spindle at a machine shop right now, making a plate or washers to make up the diffrence....and then i have the hub at another machine shop looking for speedy sleeves for the wheel seals....THEN i can put the front end back together

 

[FJ40onNOS]

so what you go done, any new pics?
